Hi,

Thanks everyone for their feedback so far, and Terrill for going way above and beyond and testing this! :)

Allen, could you elaborate on your comment? Do you mean that by tabbing to the drop-down, using the down arrow key to select a choice, then hitting enter I wouldn't need a "Go" button? I did just test that with Mac's VoiceOver and you're right it appeared to work fine.

Perhaps things have changed and now it is safe to use a drop-down without a Go button -- I just want to verify this before proceeding as it used to be standard that you needed to use a Go button in those situations (e.g. see http://webaccess.berkeley.edu/developer-tips.php#go).

Thanks!
Allison
