A
AREA
BUTTON
INPUT
OBJECT

Example Language:
Create a logical tabbing order through this page.  Some people like to skip

site.  To allow someone to tab over it, set the tab order of the page such 
that the navigation bar one of the last objects.

order.  Allow them to change the order either by changing the number of the 
tabindex or dragging and dropping an object to where it ought to appear in 
the list.
