Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification* Is there a particular reason this document does not comment on keyboard navigation and the use of the "tab, space, return, backspace, arrow" keys in particular? The disabled community has had some years experience developing applications that have somewhat standardised the use of the "tab, space, return, backspace, arrow" keys for navigation. I'm concerned partly because I do not understand the whole problem, but also because SVG is failing to recommend any means of keyboard navigation. It is being asserted that no keyboard event implementation is better than a non-standard implementation. The result is that significant quantity of product is being authored, without any prospect of it being keyboard navigable by anyone. regards Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility * http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/Overview.html
