Can I dynamically set tabindex in JavaScript?

Is there any attribute like tab-index?

CONTEXT : I'm making a section in a web form visible or invisible depending on some condition where I want to set the tab-index manually when that particular section is visible.

Dynamically setting tabindex = "-1" for readonly inputs

That is an interesting question; the more that CSS support is still not available.

Here is how tabindex can be set to -1 for all readonly input elements:

NodeList.prototype.forEach = NodeList.prototype.forEach || Array.prototype.forEach;

document.querySelectorAll('input[readonly="readonly"]').forEach(x => x.tabIndex = -1);

The first line ensures that the NodeList class is extended with the forEach method. This is further explained here.

Some useful JS:

for (let tabbable of document.querySelectorAll('[tabindex]')) {

}

element.setAttribute('tabindex', '-1');
