Users with cognitive disabilities and people using screen readers or screen magnifiers may be confused by an unexpected event such as automatic form submission or activation of a function that causes a change of context. With this technique, all changes of context would be triggered only by a specific action on the part of the user. Futher that action would be one that usually causes changes in context, such ask clicking on a link or pressing a submit button. Actions that simply move the focus to an element would not cause a change of context. Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind. Engr. & BioMed Engr.

We deferred to them and they put it as a secondary technique to be done next round. However it is our only technique. So we need to do it now I did a first pass at it. it is at http://tinyurl.com/k3k5z Take a look. Make - or send me any edits. Shouldn't take you more than 3 minutes. It is short and obvious.
