Matthew, did you have any comments? having thought about this a little more and tried out our new Donuts 'recipe' site*, I realise that this is a really serious problem. Using an ipaq many students had problems learning the pressure that was sufficient to work as a tap, nearly the whole screen is an image linked to the next page. yes the screen was walloped and still failed to click.... few would be able to navigate, if the screen size of a link was less than 1/4 screen size. so tab and enter buttons are certainly a bonus. the ipaq would seem not to offer these, except in linux(if I remember rightly) it does offer scroll options. thanks Jonathan *http://www.peepo.com/pda/donuts/donuts.html for ipaq + IE CE3.0 http://www.peepo.com/2k3/donuts/donuts.html anything else not requiring bgsound and/or supporting embed On Monday, December 16, 2002, at 12:50 PM, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > > > There are issues around touchscreens that I've yet to understand. for > instance how to change focus.... > > timing is one route ie tap for redirection, hold for tab, this way > sighted users notice nothing unusual, unless they hold. > but this is not a standard, so might need to be learnt.... double > click may also be possible. > bearing in mind that not everyone has the same idea of tap, hold or > dble. > > alternatively: > > a tab button on the screen seems a reasonable possibility, who is this > for? > a blind person might need guidance as to where the tab key was, > assuming no keyboard is provided. > > thanks > > Jonathan >
