> While far from pretty, you could use JS to reset the focus. In the off chance that you are using jQuery: $(this).removeAttr('tabindex');

I would tighten that up to only remove positive indices as tabindex of 0 or -1 may be used for other good reasons. Furthermore, a safer approach might be to change all the positive tabindex values to 0s in case there were elements that needed to be added to the tab order.
