You can try this:

$('.somediv *').attr("tabindex","-1");

Enjoy coding!

You can use .somediv * selector like following.

$('.somediv *').attr("tabindex", "-1");

Try to use .attr() at this context,

$('.somediv').attr("tabindex","-1");

And there is no need to iterate over all the elements.

If you want to set tabindex to all the children/descendants of .somediv then just change your selector.

$('.somediv > *').attr("tabindex","-1"); //children
$('.somediv *').attr("tabindex","-1");  //descendants

and also if you want to set tabindex to .somediv then call .addBack() before calling the .attr()
