[jira] Commented: (TRINIDAD-100) Add tabIndex attribute to
appropriate components
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12512098 ]
Matthias Weßendorf commented on TRINIDAD-100:
---------------------------------------------
I like camel-case
why not limit the tabIndex to components, that renders as:
<a href...
<input
<button
<select
<textarea
> Add tabIndex attribute to appropriate components
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: TRINIDAD-100
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-100
> Project: MyFaces Trinidad
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Components
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2-core
> Reporter: Danny Robinson
>
> No Trinidad components have a tabindex attribute, which makes it impossible to control tab-order. While tabindex isn't a fantastic solution to tab ordering, it is well known and a standard part of HTML. Until we have a better solution, we should add a tabIndex attribute.
> Some context from previous emails
> Danny:
> I noted Eric created issue ADFFACES-482 to have tabindex added to all components. I know this has come up before and general comments were around its limitations, however even with its limitations (ie. no dynamic calculation for subviews etc.) I still feel it would be better to have this attribute than the complete lack of support for any navigation ordering that Trinidad has currently.
> Adam:
> I'm +0... never liked the HTML attribute much, but there's
> demand for it... Two design questions before going forward:
> - Should it be tabindex or tabIndex?
> Trinidad generally uses camel-case. I prefer tabIndex.
> - Should the attribute be on components that ordinarily do not
> have navigation?
> Danny says "all components". You could, in theory, put tabindex
> on a ordinary span in HTML, so we could add it to outputText,
> etc... However, I'd rather not - it's extra overhead for a rarely
> used feature, and unused attributes *are* a performance problem,
> especially for outputText and panel components.
