I have iframe on my page. In firefox, when I tab into the iframe the control goes to html tag in the iframe. (I could see this with document.activeElement.contentWindow.document.activeElement on console.) The next tab gets me to the first control in the iframe.
In IE and chrome it works fine.
Can you please help me, what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
You’re doing nothing wrong. Firefox is focusing the root element so that a user who’s just using the keyboard can scroll the iframe if he wants to. If the focus went directly to the first text input, for example, the user wouldn’t be able to scroll the frame.
And indeed, that’s what happens in Chrome. If the subframe happens to not have any text controls in it, the user can scroll it fine after tabbing to it. If it has text controls, the user is screwed if he wants to scroll.
For what it’s worth, I just reported this as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79558 because it seems like a clear accessibility bug…
