This is a bug in Netscape. Whenever absolute-positioned div tags are
used, the keyboard accessibility in Netscape is destroyed. I've had
better luck with other CSS styles, but the absolute positioning style is
problematic for this reason.

Subject: Tabbing in Netscape


I'm trying to re-do my web site using CSS and layers. When I bring up
the site in Netscape (4.6 or 6.2) and try to tab through the links it
doesn't work. Pressing tab does nothing. It works okay in Internet
Explorer. I'm using the tabindex attribute in the <a tags. Tabbing
through a page without layers works ok in Netscape. Anyone know what I
can do to fix this?

Thanks, Pat
