[webkit-dev] Focus traversal question

After some search I found two methods in ChromeClient related to the question: 
canTakeFocus() and takeFocus(). Still, I see some problems with the reverse 
traversal (I tried text field on www.yahoo.com: when I press Shift+TAB, the 
methods from ChromeClient are not called).

Thanks,

Artem
