Cannot set tabindex on ASP:LinkButton

Question

I have an ASP Web Forms project with a LinkButton control. I try to set the tabindex in the control's property grid and it adds it to the code, however when I compile and run the page the tabindex is gone. The reason I need a tabindex (tabindex="0") is to make this linkbutton tabbable.

I also tried with tabindex 1 and tabindex 2.

Here is my .ascx control:

<asp:LinkButton
    runat="server"
    CssClass="continue-button"
    ID="continue"
    OnClientClick="ProcessFormAnimation();"
    OnCommand="continue_Command"
    TabIndex="2">
    Continue
</asp:LinkButton>

Here is the rendered code:

<a onclick="ProcessFormAnimation();" id="continue" class="continue-button">
 Continue
</a>

What is the resulting ASP markup? What is the resulting HTML in the browser? — David, Jul 16 '18 at 17:54

The LinkButton Support TabIndex

Documentation Microsoft ASP.NET

Remembering that,

Only controls with a tab index other than zero will render the tabindex attribute.

I set the tabindex to 1 and 2 but it still doesn't render. – Lee Jul 16 '18 at 21:08
