Cannot set tabindex on Textfield

[aforemny]

I cannot set the Html.attributes.tabindex on a Textfield, because any options are set on the containing div. Or is there a way that I am missing?

I suppose we should expose a Textfield.tabindex : Int -> Textfield.Property m function.

Yes.

Just to be sure, style won't help, somehow?

Otherwise, for v7, we should just add this.

For master, it would be good to find a way to avoid wrapping so many attributes for input elements in Options. I don't how, though: we can't have users messing up our event handlers.

Maybe it would be better to tag things a certain way? Like say Textfield could have another type in it like:

type Nodes
  = OuterContainer
  | InnerTextfield

Or so, then you could decorate the calls where it matters, like Options.cs Textfield.OuterContainer "blah" or Options.cs Textfield.InnerTextfield "blah". If the entirety of Options followed that then it would work well. You could have an Options.defaultNode as a fill-in for ones that have no thing to attach to or just want to attach to the default node whatever it may be, however that would probably require the above 'Textfield.Nodes` to come from a base type or something, or be a function call to build a specific value (or heck, just return an integer index of the field?).

Can you even set tabindex through CSS?

Can you even set tabindex through CSS?

Sadly no... It has to be on the element itself.

Figures. We should look into what attributes we need to support one way or the other and try to figure out a general solution.

Let's continue discussion in more general terms at #208.

Closing this; it'll be fixed by #213.
