[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12420) InplaceInput template: negative tabindex

[Brian Leathem (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Leathem resolved RF-12420.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix


Negative values for tabindex have a use case:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/editing.html#focus

Notice hot the input elemment 5 lines later usses the cdk passthrough tabindex:
https://github.com/richfaces/components/blob/develop/input/ui/src/main/templates/inplaceInput.template.xml#L59

I believe the use case here is that you don't tab to inplace input's until they've been activated as editable inputs.

> According to W3C, tabindex "must be a number between 0 and 32767. User agents should ignore leading zeros." [1]
> But {{inplaceInput}} uses value "-1" as seen from {{[template|https://github.com/richfaces/components/blob/develop/input/ui/src/main/templates/inplaceInput.template.xml#L54}}.
> This also negatively affects usability, since helper controls for {{inplaceInput}} can't be found by keys.

> Note that IE specifies tabindex itself [2] and it allows negative number values. [2]
