Re: Focus order issue ... Could Aria-controls have an effect?

Hi Birkir,

I've turned off the screen reader and tried navigating by keyboard, but
still don't seem able to reach the sub-menu items. However, with the screen
reader running, once I reach the search button, If I down-arrow I can move
into the sub-menu, so it's just not moving focus to it via the tab key.

This looks as though they've added tabindex="-1" on all the links and
buttons in the sub-menu, but they're not appearing in the HTML.

Trouble is there's only one tool I can use to view the generated source and
it's in an IE toolbar, but I can't open the menu with either mouse or
keyboard in IE. So can't view the generated source.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Every little helps.

Cheers,

Bim
