If I set the tabindex attribute on the form input like
<img src= 'my_pic.gif'>
<input type = 'text' tabindex = '0'>
<p>
<img src= 'my_pic.gif'>
<input type = 'text' tabindex = '0'>
<p>
<img src= 'my_pic.gif'>
<input type = 'text' tabindex = '0'>
then the images never gets the focus if you press the 'Tab' key.

Yes, but I don't know the imageId of the first image because the rows get
sorted before the focus has to be set to the first image. Is there a way to
figure that the imageId of the first picture?
