To prevent cycling through specific elements when using the tab key, you can utilize the tabIndex property and set it to -1.
<input type="text" id="no-tab-cycle" tabIndex="-1"/>
To manage this functionality efficiently, you may need to employ clever selectors with jQuery or similar frameworks, especially in cases of complex forms.
If you have a more effective solution, feel free to share it with us.
Here's an updated example:
Assuming your popup dialog is identified by the ID my-popup-dialog in jQuery, you can use the following code to achieve the desired outcome. Adjust the selectors based on your specific requirements.
$('input, textarea, select').each(function(index) {
$(this).attr('tabIndex', '-1');
});
$('#my-popup-dialog input, #my-popup-dialog textarea, #my-popup-dialog select').each(function(index) {
$(this).removeAttr('tabIndex');
});
