Hi Paul, I've actually seen this before, and this approach is pretty much ideal, the only tweak you have to make is as well as having a:active you also need a:focus and this will fix your issue. ul.skipNav li a:focus, ul.skipNav li a:active { /* your active styles*/} Hope this helps Cheers Jam

I do think that the latest version of Firefox (v 2.0.0.9) may have a problem with tabbing as I've not been able to tab through stuff either since upgrading... this might be a bug; it may just be me being stupid but it's certainly a bit of a pain in the arse! - Original Message From: S

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to tab through the links in Firefox. Links are not on the tab sequence in Safari by default, but you can turn that on in the Preferences. I have no idea if users actually do in practice. Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailt

I was using "products" generically. Every product drill down that I've seen so far is based on categories. The right column on ThomasNet is not a search, it's a dynamically generated linked drill down through categories. I guess there could be agreement that the code behind "searches" with a quer
