Dear Group, Mandana Eibegger (CC'ed) has joined the group to help me with the expand/collapse functionality. One of the things she is suggesting is to use the WAI-ARIA accordion widget [1] rather than the current approach with buttons [2]. [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#accordion> [2] <http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible> One of the implications is that the accordion widget has a different set of keyboard shortcuts than the current approach. While keyboard users should be accustomed to these shortcuts from similar desktop widgets, it is still something quite new for many web users. Here is an example with an implementation of the WAI-ARIA accordion: - <http://test.cita.uiuc.edu/aria/tabpanel/tabpanel2.php> Question for the group, in particular for the keyboard users: how well does this example WAI-ARIA implementation work for you?
