Re: Should disabled elements receive tab focus

> So in the situation where there are two combo-boxes and a submit button on a page, and the second combo box has no choices until the first combo box has a selection made would you want that second combo to be in the tab order? We were talking about adding a aria-disabled to the second combo box until there are choices in the it, would make more sense to mark it completely disabled?

I'd say it is best practice to advise the user that changing something in a control will affect/change or add content later/further in the document.
