I get confused reading this, I must admit. If a tabpanel in a set of tabs contains simulated set of radio buttons: 1. then user will select that tab 2. user will interact with the radio buttons .. if selecting one of those radio buttons opens a slider then 3. User will interact with that slider (still within the tabpenal). ... this set-up is no different from the placement and focus order of regular html elements/widgets. Maybe I am missing something. At least I would make the example more specific and descriptive (add a screenshot?). I am not able to decode it .. granted it is a Monday morning and I have yet to grab my first cup of Jo. -B On 4/19/15, Matthew King <mattking@us.ibm.com> wrote: > The APG contains the following guidance labeled widgets within widgets. > Theoretically, it appears logical on paper.
