dom - Make an HTML element non-focusable

Question

Is it possible to make an HTML element non-focusable?

I understand that a list of elements that can receive focus can be defined and that a user can navigate through these elements by pressing a Tab key. I also see that it is up to the browser to control this.

But maybe there is a way to make certain elements non-focusable, say I want a user to skip a certain <a> tag when pressing a Tab.

Answer 1

<a href="http://foo.bar" tabindex="-1">unfocusable</a>

A negative value means that the element should be focusable, but should not be reachable via sequential keyboard navigation.
