Posted from: 114.25.240.243 by kennyluck@csail.mit.edu User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_2) AppleWebKit/534.51.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.1 Safari/534.51.22 ================================================================================ #1 Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu 2012-02-17 17:46:05 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This paragraph doesn't exclude disabled form controls that have tabindex specified. In the following test case "onfocus" doesn't appear in IE9, Firefox 10, Safari 5 and Chromium 18 data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><textarea tabindex="0" disabled onfocus='document.write("onfocus");'>CLICK</textarea><script>document.querySelector('textarea').focus()</script> (Opera12alpha is a bit special but that has nothing to do with 'tabindex'. It fires the 'focus' event for disabled form controls when focus() is called, which is not following the spec.) I think in general this paragraph should exclude all elements :disabled matches. Test case: data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><fieldset disabled><textarea tabindex="0" onfocus='document.write("onfocus");'>CLICK</textarea></fieldset><script>document.querySelector('textarea').focus()</script> Firefox follows my expectable but IE9 and WebKit browsers don't. That's because they don't implement 'disabled' on <fieldset>. ================================================================================
