Is there a way to keep a form element from ever being tabbed to?

you can set the TABINDEX="" for most elements. i think if you set it to -1, it will keep that element from being tabbed to, but i'm not sure of that.

Another method is to add onFocus="this.blur();" to the element as in the simple example below. However, this method may disrupt the tabbing of other elements on the page.

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="submit" onFocus="this.blur();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Was replying at the same time as Joh6nn ;)

Just to clarify, Joh6nn's suggestion will work. Here an example of the "tabindex" being set to -1 to prevent the button from being tabbed to:

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="submit" tabindex="-1" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
