Hi Ron,

I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but I went to do a
quick navigation test via keyboard and found that I couldn't. You should
remove the onkeypress redundancy for your style sheet switcher. As it
stands, I can't tab past the stylesheet switcher because of the onkeypress
handler.

In many browsers onkeypress can break keyboard navigation - certainly an
unintended consequence - where trying to help accessibility actually hinders
it. Onclick is a misnomer, at least the way it has been implemented in
browsers. It actually behaves more like onactivate, so onclick will be just
fine for keyboard users as well.

Hope this helps...
Best regards,
Derek.
