August 31, 2004 Discoverability and navigation of hyperlinks via tabs Abstract A user may discover and navigate among hyperlinks through the use of a keyboard. For example, a user may press a tab key to discover and navigate to a first hyperlink that is part of a hypertext document. The first hyperlink is, in response, given focus and a focus shape is drawn around the text or graphics for the hot region of the hyperlink. If the user again presses the tab key, the next hyperlink is given focus and a focus shape (i.e., an outline that surrounds the next hyperlink) is drawn around the next hyperlink. A user may also tab to a placeholder for an image in order to make a decision whether the image should be downloaded or not. --- How this will involve the WAI (WCAG, ATAG and UAAG) base requirement that says that all the functionality must be accessible by keyboard, coherent navigation by keyboard, etc. etc.? Can any Microsoft rep. inform about this? P.S. I've put W3C AC Forum in cc. Thanks a lot!
