ThetabIndex property of theHTMLElement interface represents the tab order of the current element.

Tab order is as follows:

1. Elements with a positivetabIndex. Elements that have identicaltabIndex values should be navigated in the order they appear. Navigationproceeds from the lowesttabIndex to the highesttabIndex.
2. Elements that do not support thetabIndex attribute or support it andassigntabIndex to0, in the order they appear.

Elements that are disabled do not participate in the tabbing order.

Values don't need to be sequential, nor must they begin with any particular value. Theymay even be negative, though each browser trims very large values.

Value

An integer.

Examples

const b1 = document.getElementById("button1");b1.tabIndex = 1;
