[WSG] tabindex doesn't work
Hi, this is the first time I try implementing tabindex for navigation. http://new.marinersq.com/html/thierry.html The above page has 6 menu tabs and I have them set from tabindex=1, tabindex=2 and so on...but nothing happens when I try to tab them. I tried using combination of 'shift', 'alt', 'control' and 'command'.

Works here (although it suffers from Skip to content link isn't first item in the taborder and Image Replacement means the text of the image is off the page so the focus box looks really weird). I suggest you: 1: Stop using image replacement. img elements aren't deprecated. 2: Put your skip link at the front of the tab order 3: Check you are using a browser that supports navigation by tabbing -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Don't know the problem here, but you might be better off just putting those menu links as high in the source as possible and letting users reach them naturally. Tabindex can be especially difficult, especially when users are tabbing through forms (first tab takes you to menu, not the next form field). -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... portfolio.christianmontoya.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

I guess the problem is I don't know exactly how to 'tab'. Ok how do you do that in Mac? Works fine for me, but I don't see the reason why you'd use tabindex with this type of menu. How do you reach sub-menus? OK, I was thinking when I tab to programs for example, I use 'up' and 'down' arrows combination to navigate the sub menus. Maybe Al can explain this better? According to his PMM product page, the PMM is Tab key friendly. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

This actually was the next question I was going to ask :) I did a check on Yellowpipe online Lynx Viewer and see that it shows the alt text as well as the text for image replacement, and was questioning my choice before you message came through tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] tabindex doesn't work
What browser are you using as that worked fine for me. You may have tabbed navigation turned off or check your OS accessibility features Steve On 25/10/2006, at 5:47 AM, Tee G.

Re: [WSG] tabindex doesn't work
Forgot to say you should put your conditional statements into the head, inline styling is a bit to be desired (in my opinion anyway). Steve On 25/10/2006, at 5:47 AM, Tee G.
