FF4: Layout test failures due to FF4 tabstops on overflow:auto divs even w/no scrollbars

Description (last modified by )
BorderContainer.html and !AccordionContainer_a11y.html layout tests will have test failures in FF4. The failures are due to new tabbing rules. You are now able to tab to more objects then before. I've raised a question on the FF4 beta forum to determine if this is expected new behavior and if so what the new rules are or a FF4 bug:
If the case this is a new accessibility feature in FF4, I'm attaching fixes for the test files to accommodate the new behavior.

You should try to be more specific in your forum posts than just saying "certain divs". I assume there's some pattern, like the div's being scrollable (although I thought even FF3 would put a tab stop in scrollable divs, so that users could scroll them).

Even though tabIndex=-1 is on the JavaScript? object for the element, adding tabindex=-1 (with lowercase i) on the DOM node fixes this. Hopefully this is just a Firefox bug that will be fixed. ksv, you should verify this and add it to your mozilla ticket.

Opened a FF4 ticket for this issue. A div will incorrectly get tab focus whenever overflow is set to auto.

To be tested in subsequent beta versions... We're not expecting to make any dojo changes.

Still happens with FF4 RC. I'd rather not update the test as per the attached patch since at some point FF may fix this problem, but OTOH I don't want the test to keep failing. In any case, it's not a serious problem.

Since this is just a test failure I'll just update the tests in trunk. Could copy to 1.6/ brach if we want to, but not necessary.
