I investigated further and I think you're right. However I found an
easier solution: binding the event to the window instead of the body
works without any tab index. However it does *not* work in IE. Sigh
- browser specific hacks either way.
In any case it's not MochiKit's fault: I verified that subscribing to
the same event using the DOM event api directly has the same result.
Thanks!
Simon.
