Nicolette:

We've never had to deal with that before, but to me, 'escape' seems like a logical solution. We've had people tell us that escape was perfect for exiting accordions, menus, dialog boxes, etc. To me, I would think that would be one of the first things someone would try. Add in some minor directions to the user, and I think that would be a good solution.

The challenge at that point would be -- where do you place the focus.

Just my two cents!
