Configuration Attributes

activeDescendant - Number

Node, or index of the Node, representing the descendant that is either focused or is focusable (tabIndex attribute is set to 0). The value cannot represent a disabled descendant Node. Use a value of -1 to remove all descendant Nodes from the default tab flow. If no value is specified, the active descendant will be inferred using the following criteria:

  1. Examining the tabIndex attribute of each descendant and using the first descendant whose tabIndex attribute is set to 0
  2. If no default can be inferred then the value is set to either 0 or the index of the first enabled descendant.

circular - Boolean

Boolean indicating if focus should be set to the first/last descendant when the end or beginning of the descendants has been reached.

descendants - Y.NodeList

String representing the CSS selector used to define the descendant Nodes whose focus should be managed.

focusClass - String|Object

String representing the name of class applied to the focused active descendant Node. Can also be an object literal used to define both the class name, and the Node to which the class should be applied. If using an object literal, the format is: { className: "focus", fn: myFunction }. The function referenced by the fn property in the object literal will be passed a reference to the currently focused active descendant Node.

focused - boolean

Boolean indicating that one of the descendants is focused.
Default Value: false

keys - Object

Object literal representing the keys to be used to navigate between the next/previous descendant. The format for the attribute's value is { next: "down:40", previous: "down:38" }. The value for the "next" and "previous" properties are used to attach key event listeners. See the Using the key Event section of the Event documentation for more information on "key" event listeners.
