Error · tabindex
Keyboard order forced by hand
The tab order was overridden, so keyboard users jump around the page unpredictably.
Who it leaves out: people who can't use a mouse
How to fix it
Remove the manual order. Developer task.
In the code
Remove positive tabindex values (tabindex="1", "2"…); use tabindex="0" and DOM order.
