Re: Updated Multiselect Tabpanel

IMO the following will be confusing for a screen reader user:
If you are on a closed panel and press tab, it will tab into the contents 
of the next open panel.
I see why that's done for logical consistency but I'm not sure people will 
understand it.

Updated Multiselect Tabpanel




I have modified the keyboard behavior to have Control+PageUp and 
Control+PageDown use the context of the tabpanel that has the current 
focused item to determine the tab navigation.  It seems a lot better from 
a user interaction standpoint.

Still some problems with IE8 with attribute selectors to update styling of 
tabpanels.
