The Watir tabindex method you used is for HTMl tags with a tabindex
attribute.
For example:
<a href="#interactive" tabindex="1" >Link A</a>
<a href="#interactive" tabindex="2" >Link B</a>
As you mention, your web page is NOT using the tabindex attribute,
thus the method return 0.
Perhaps you could use AutoIt's send_keys command to tab through the
web page, e.g.
# Advance to the next object in the tabbing order
browser.send_keys("{TAB}")
and after each command detect which object has focus. You could then
collect the tabbing
order, which could be saved and compared to the tabbing order found on
subsequent runs.
Sorry but I don't know of a means to tell which object has focus,
Watir's Watir::Element class lack an in_focus? method.
It has focus method to set the focus but not a method to verify if it
is in focus.
Perhaps someone else can assist with that.
