How to ignore HTML element from tabindex?

by

You can use tabindex="-1".

The W3C HTML5 specification supports negative tabindex values:

If the value is a negative integer
The user agent must set the element’s tabindex focus flag, but should not allow the element to be reached using sequential focus navigation.

Watch out though that this is a HTML5 feature and might not work with old browsers.
To be W3C HTML 4.01 standard (from 1999) compliant, tabindex would need to be positive.

Sample usage below in pure HTML.

<input />
<input tabindex="-1" placeholder="NoTabIndex" />
<input />
