RE: Tabpanel with multiselect Example (Accordian)

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your explanation.
It seems though that this may confuse users who expect tablist to run
across. When you move forward with a TAB key and hear the screen reader
say "tab", the impression is that you just landed on another tablist.
Does this make sens?
How about presenting this widget as a regular tablist maintaining the
same states you use in your current example?

Victor,

The tabs in the tablist with multiselect equal to true are basically
buttons that hide or show content in the asscoiated tab panel.  So when
you hide a tab panel you basically cannot navigate to the controls and
content in that tab panel.

This type of interaction is sometimes called an Accordian widget.

Jon
