Tab Order on your Web Site
When working in industry on applications, I spent time making sure the tab order was working and in an intuitive order. BTW, to move from element to element one can use the Tab key.
This also holds true for web pages. The WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) says that Anchor, AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, LABEL, LEGEND, and TEXTAREA elements need the tab order set. The tab order is helpful to anyone.
Each element has a tabindex attribute which is a number starting with 1 which increases sequentially for each element. The focus starts at tabindex 1 and moves to 2 then 3… as the tab key is pressed.
I have yet to find an automated way of setting the tab order.
