Tabindexing question

for

From: Nancy Johnson

I have a web application full of controls..

I set the tabindex ="1" to the first control.

The navigation is global and there is no tab indexing, but would like
to give the user the option of the navigation before the user gets to
the first control.

If I set the tabindex to the first control, the focus immediately goes
there and skips the navigation.

Is there a remedy?

Thanks,

Nancy
