   Consider this, the tabindex controls the tab order of the form 
elements with a range of 0 - 32767. That means to remove a form element 
from the tabindex it must not be in that range. "-1" is not in that 
range, nor is "-32767" or anything in between for that matter. You could 
simply throw (insert) a minus sign in front of a form element to disable 
it, even via scripting (simply multiply the tabindex by -1 to toggle).
