Description

If you are tabbing though an issue (or most other forms) the link to the Test formatting Help is targeted before the text area. I think we should skip over that link completely when tabbing.

I'm not sure how we could do this without using a tabindex for every other field in every form. Is there a tabskip or similar property we can use?

I vaguely recall being able to set only one element tabindex = -1 and it performing this behavior, except in IE6 (which we shouldn't care about). I'll back this up with docs tomorrow.

I just edited it using firebug and can confirm that tabindex="-1" makes the browser skip it. (Google Chrome on Linux)

Html 4) doesn't support it, the html 5 draft does though. Of note that Microsoft/IE supports that from IE 5.01 upwards.

In light of that, I think it's safe to use it, browsers that don't support it should ignore it, which doesn't break anything.

Mmh, I don't even get to the help link by tabbing… What browser(s) are incriminated here?

Anyway, I don't get there by tabbing with Safari, but Safari doesn't mind the tabindex="-1" being there.

Committed in c73315e6b0808e4d5e9ecc2b228fa554ec2e73fb, I also removed what seems like a leftover test string in a js file.
