Unfortunatelly tab_focus is does not work under Chrome (it select first the toolbar icons than the editor area) while under Firefoy is good.

Any idea?

@Brian: thanks, I’ll check it out.

@Matthew: based on the docs it looks like that only works once you are already in the editor but I haven’t had a chance to test.

I tried this fix on the latest version, and I had to change the function to this:
$(“.mceToolbar *”).attr(“tabIndex”, “-1″);

Thanks a bunch!

I noticed that while this works almost perfectly, foreground color, the dropdown arrow for it and the background color and the dropdown arrow for it still get tab focus. That’s four additional items to tab through, even though it skips the rest. Just posting in case someone knows a fix or so the next person doesn’t think they’re crazy.

That’s an excellent tip. I’ve noticed this problem before but never thought of fixing it. Thanks heaps!
