The fine mode caret navigation needs to deal with naigation between FRAMES and IFRAME elements. When someone moves the caret to the content at the end of a frame or the beginning of a frame does the caret then move to the next frame or not. If it does not then the user needs to explicity move focus to the next frame and start navigation. This maybe a problem for many people to understand. Currently both Mozilla and IE use TAB to move the keyboard focus to the next active element and when frames or iframes are part of the web resource it moves focus automatically between frames. I think this is what should be done for fine (caret) mode navigation. Here are two test cases from the UAAG test suite that deal with keyboard navigation of frames and iframes. http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/wai-eval/show-test/index.php?test_id=100 http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/wai-eval/show-test/index.php?test_id=102 These tests mainly deal with simple navigation to links across frames, but we could make more complex or diverse examples for testing the mozilla keyboard enhancements. I think this is one way the user agent working group could help the SUN Mozilla team is by creating test cases for fine navigation.
