From: Sailesh Panchang [mailto:sailesh.panchang@deque.com] (http://www.w3.org/2004/09/wai-nav/8-gr.html) Normally in other menus I have seen, the plus sign is a link and so is the text adjacent to it. Is selecting the plus link and the adjacent text link supposed to produce the same effect? But on the WAI page under discussion, the plus sign is part of the link. So I wonder what is the purpose of the plus sign?To me it just appears like a link and selecting it takes me to the next level and so forth. Shawn replies: In the current prototype, the plus sign and the text adjacent to it do the exact same thing; thus, they are one link. The plus sign is to indicate that there are "children" under that node. So, it is working "correctly". However, we should consider if it seems wrong because it is somewhat different from some other implementations. From: Sailesh Panchang [mailto:sailesh.panchang@deque.com] Interestingly, WinEyes does not announce the plus sign but just reads the link. Shawn replies: We should consider the impact of this. Thanks for the comments! ~ Shawn
