Hi
I am checking a site for accessibility and Dreamweaver suggests making sure
that the menu is accessible via keyboard as well as mouse (i.e
device-independent). A question has arisen which is probably more to do with
my lack of understanding of how a user might interact with a web site
without using a mouse.
I have tried using the onKeyDown command but it does not seem to be
key-specific. If this command is added to eight menu links, how does the
system know which link to go to? I have pasted a simple file below showing
the code that Dreamweaver produces.
Thanks,
Dave Henson.
