Hello I finally managed to make jquery work for me. I want to set all "input" tabindex to -1 (not selectable by tab key). This is what I wrote (taken from the source of an example)
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { // set tabs $(':input').each(function(i, e) { alert("<" + this.id + ">"+ " TABINDEX= <" + $(this).attr ('tabindex') + ">" ); $(this).attr('tabindex', -1); alert("TABINDEX AFTER = <" + $(this).attr('tabindex') + ">"); }) }); </script> The 1st alert shows me the name of the element and the tabindex current value The 2nd alert - shows me "TABINDEX AFTER = <-1>" as I expected and I as need. But the source of the HTML page is NOT changed - none of the input tags has a tabindex of -1 !! I guess I miss something basic... Please give me a hint to redirect me to the right direction. Thank you in advance Gil Yoktan
