[Sakai Jira] Commented: (SAKIII-4067) Make the Top Navigation Keyboard Accessible

[Nicolaas Matthijs (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAKIII-4067?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=138970#comment-138970 ] 

Nicolaas Matthijs commented on SAKIII-4067:
-------------------------------------------

Continued progress has been made. First letter navigation only appears to work in IE 8 and IE 9. It did not work in FF4 and Safari 5 

More ARIA attributes are still required to make the menu accessible to users of screen reading software. 

Removed bad example 

Here is an example (it does not have click-able main menu links) http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/menubar/menubar1.php 

I am working on a Jing video that I will post shortly

> We should make the top navigation keyboard accessible. This means:
> 1. All menus are shown on focus
> 2. You can tab down to each menu, then use the keyboard arrows to navigate up and down the menu
> 3. The menu item highlight is both for focus and hover
> 4. You can use both mouse and keyboard in concert -- using the keyboard shouldn't restrict the ability to intervene with a mouse
