Greetings, A week or two ago someone mentioned the importance of using ONFOCUS and ONBLUR events in Javascripts, e.g., to allow keyboard navigation. I think I have found a good example of this need, but if someone with more Javascript skills could verify what is going on I would be grateful. The homepage for www.freediskspace.com has a number of links that are activated by Javascripts. Using JFW3.2 & IE4 I can navigate to the links, the URL is read, but hitting ENTER does nothing. The code appears to use only ONMOUSEOVER type functions. I can steal a URL from the source code (for the "About Us" or "Signup" page), and that is the only way I can get to the second level pages. The strange thing is that these 2nd-level pages appear to navigate pretty normally (except no alts for most links), but I can hear the targets & ENTER launches the next page. The code doesn't appear to me to be any different than the main page. If anyone has any ideas please let me know so I can make the most constructive suggestion to the designers (other than don't use Jscript). Many thanks, Patrick
