Subject: Popup window keyboarding question
No previous message | Next message →
Hi there,
I'm currently ADA testing an online system for another team and there are several places where there are popup windows. Normally, I would expect to keyboard through the items in the popup window once it announces as a popup window but when I tab through, I'm unable to press the enter key to select an option. I realized after a couple tests that the popup window actually needs form mode enabled (though there are no form fields). I marked that as an issue, but wanted to confirm - if there is a list of items in a popup window (basically menu items), would enabling forms mode be intuitive or am I accurate in assuming it wouldn't be?

You should not need to be in forms mode to activate pop-up menu items. It sounds to me like the links don't receive the Enter key. They could be neutered links or use onmouseover event.
