WarningCode a11y_positive_tabindex

Custom tab order with a positive tabindex

What it means

The site has elements that force a custom order for the Tab key.

Why it is only a warning

This is only a warning. Keyboard users jump around the page in a confusing order that does not match what they see.

How to fix it

  1. Remove the custom order, and put the elements in the right order on the page.
  2. Run the check again.

Prompt for your agent

Copy it and paste it into your agent. It fixes the project, explains each step, and runs the check again.

The DeployAI accessibility check found this on the site: Custom tab order with a positive tabindex.
Remove tabindex values above 0. Use tabindex="0" to make a custom control focusable, and put elements in the right order in the HTML instead of forcing the order.
Explain your plan and wait for my approval before architectural changes. Do not remove features without asking.
Explain every step to me in simple words.
When done and the updated site is live, tell me to run the accessibility check again at https://deployai.co.il/en/tools/accessibility
