SSA has been using @tabindex=0 to make instructional text on forms focusable for a while. Their guidance is available from here: http://www.ssa.gov/oag/acq/oagacq_508.htm SSA's Guide to Applying Section 508 Standards: http://www.ssa.gov/oag/info/SSA's%20Guide%20to%20Applying%20Section%20508%20Standards.pdf The relevant bit is on page 49 in relation to testing against 1194.22(n). The simplest example I could find of @tabindex is their change of address form: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/ICOA/main.html You have to select the OK button to get the actual form. @tabindex=0 is set on a DIV and a couple SPANs. -----Original Message----- From: Loretta Guarino Reid [mailto:lorettaguarino@google.com] Sent: Thu 9/1/2011 5:19 PM To: Bailey, Bruce Cc: adam solomon; David MacDonald Subject: Tabindex on instructions This is the reminder email to send a pointer to your pages with focusable instructions.
