#FAQ
What is focus order and why does it matter? ▾
Focus order is the sequence in which interactive elements receive focus when a user presses the Tab key. A logical focus order that follows the visual layout is essential for keyboard-only users and screen reader users to navigate a page efficiently.
Why should I avoid positive tabindex values? ▾
Positive tabindex values (e.g., tabindex="5") override the natural DOM order and create a custom focus sequence that is hard to maintain and often confusing. Use tabindex="0" to make elements focusable in DOM order, or tabindex="-1" for programmatic focus only.
