Can you remove a checkbox's tabindex by default?

[jcorradinoParticipant]

I am looking for a way to set the tabindex to -1 by default for any checkboxes rendered into a jqxGrid. I am attempting to build out an accessible (WAI) grid allowing keyboard navigation between the grid’s rows/cells. As I am using tab to navigate to the grid’s parent element but not within it, I am trying to remove the default tabbing behavior of the checkbox element, allowing a better flow on the page.

Is there a way to do this outside of a direct modification of the checkbox’s tabindex via element manipulation? Either through the grid or something tying into the checkbox render event itself?

Best,

Jason
