Disable tabbing on all page elements EXCEPT...

I have a page with a lot of textual elements, textbox/radiobutton/checkbox prompts and a couple of buttons.

I used the tabIndex property of the prompts to set a tabbing order, but unfortunately further tabbing also cycles through the static textual elements present on the page.

How do I prevent that? How can I make tabbing cycle through my prompts and the cancel/finish buttons only? I am using (and targeting) IE8 if it matters. Thanks!

Fixed; thanks.

I'm a little curious about the solution...

I was looking at the page source of my form, and I realized that I want to skip tabbing through all objects of the class "textItem". Can someone help?

Anyone?

Could you maybe show the code you have already? When you say "static textual elements" are you talking about elements that never accept user input? because if that is the case you could maybe just use

onfocus="this.blur()"

and the next tab event would just skip to the next element...
