Yes, the window that has focus does need to be highlighted. As far as I know, this feature is noramlly provided by Operating systems, but for example in some X window managers the default is to highlight the focussed wnidow without bringing it to the front. In others the default is that the front window has focus. Charles On Sat, 9 Dec 2000, Loretta Guarino Reid wrote: I think it is possible for no window or element to have focus. However, if keystrokes are being delivered to some window, then that window has focus, even if no element within it has the focus. Does the window that receives keystrokes need to be highlighted? Is it the case that different keystrokes will be delivered to different windows, so that there is no unique focus? Loretta > I agree with Al, here.

If so, why do they make that assumption?] - Ian -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia September - November 2000: W3C INRIA, 2004 Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
