Johnny, thanks for your input. Your comments *do* answer my question, which was: How would users bring off-screen panels into view? Your point is that as a keyboard user tabs through the controls, the panels would naturally scroll into focus; is that a correct paraphrasing? In that case, yes, you wouldn't want the chevrons to be focusable. We weren't sure whether or not the designers had envisioned some other way of bringing panels into view without requiring tabbing through all the controls. Joanna seems to have answered that question with the wiki page she's working on, which describes exactly the interaction you describe. -- Anastasia Cheetham Inclusive Design Research Centre [email protected] Inclusive Design Institute OCAD University _______________________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://lists.idrc.ocad.ca/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
