The proposal for navigation of menus and menubars is documented in the PF
Wiki [1]. I don't believe that menu behavior has been finalized, thus, I
would like to propose a modification to the behavior described.
Specifically I propose that, in order to match the behavior for disabled
buttons, disabled menu items do NOT receive focus. This is consistent
with how the Macintosh treats menu items and buttons but is different than
Windows. I think it makes sense for widget focus to behave consistently
within Web Applications hosted within the browser.
The Dojo Open Source widget tookit is planning to implement a consistent
focus behavior for the widgets. Disabled buttons will not receive focus,
disabled buttons within a toolbar will not receive focus, and disabled
menu items will not receive focus. However, we would appreciate feedback
from this group.
thanks,
