Hi Nick,
When the user selects an option and hits enter, dynamic content (new pie chart) appears. There is no Submit button on this drop-down and it is not a jump refresh compontent.

Under WCAG 2.0 must their always be a submit button or "View/display" button next to drop down box to change dynamic content within page.

Hi Pete, would you mind elaborating? What is the action that occurs once a user selects an option?

Hi community,
I have a drop-down box, where the users are able to navigate and select an option using the keyboard and they are also able to hit enter on the selected option field. The drop-down box does not have a Submit button next to it.

I am thinking that the drop-down should have a Submit button but space is limited on the page and i do not want to anoy the design team:)

What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Pete
