Re: XHTML tab order and Flash

In my experience, using IE (5?, 6, 7, 8) a user can tab into and out of a
flash object or other embedded objects. IE passes control to flash and takes
it back. Firefox has a known since version 1 that keyboard users cannot gain
access to flash or other embedded objects (quicktime, other video players).
When tabbing in FF these object are skipped.
