If you are using IE, then it won't currently work in jQuery 1.2.6.
Add the following fix at the top of your script:
if ($.browser.msie && !$.props.tabindex) $.props.tabindex =
'tabIndex';
and you don't need to use the each() call, just do this:
$(':input').attr('tabindex', -1);
a better idea, is to exclude any inputs that already have a tabindex
attr:
$(':input:not([tabindex])').attr('tabindex', -1);
Hope this helps
