hi Chris and Charles: I recall working with certain apps, or perhaps it was certain widgets within the UI of an app., when something with selection/focus would react to either the mouse click or the spacebar could be substituted for a mouse click. I think the Clistbox may work this way. Now that I think about it, seems a radio button group, and checkboxs, etc., follow that pattern? mark At 8:50 AM 9/2/99, Chris Wilson wrote: >I'd be interested in hearing suggestions about how a UA might provide >mouse-over activation without a mouse.
