You have to implement keyboard support, mapping to the accessibility API (WAI-ARIA), etc. Given that those code paths will not be frequently used on most sites (including by the sites' developers) it's not really surprising they either won't work at all or are buggy. I really think we should aim higher than "WAI-ARIA can be used, mission accomplished" because that will result in a web where few pages are accessible. (Given the complexity most likely only those where this is a requirement by law or contract.) -- Anne — Opera Software http://annevankesteren.nl/
