Hi,

My primary site is coldfusion driven, and are looking for ways to
smooth our multiple dropdowns.

Our backend developer is testing this Ajax driven dropdown. It seems
to be keyboard accessible and I believe it refreshes with each choice.

Any thoughts on Accessibility?


Thanks

Nancy

Turn Javascript off - does the FORM still work?

Between where it says "quality technical screen task" and "home", on
my macbook using leopard and voice over, it says "html content".
Usually that means there's something for me to interact with, so I
went to interact with it but it did nothing. I don't know if there's
anything there. The drop down menus are great however. I run into
menus like that on most sites and they're accessible multiple ways
with voiceover and very easy to navigate. I like how you can select
phone model and then make. I don't know what your site is for, but
I've tried navigating to read about cell phones on other sites and its
practically impossible.

I am a new voiceover user so I don't know how much value my experience
has, but I've got the navigation basics down pretty well. No clue
about Windows readers as I don't use them.

Hope that helps,
Randi.

Oh PS, java script was mentioned, that might be where I got my "html
content" hangup, as jova does not work with voiceover.

It doesn't work with javascript disabled. So it may be accessible, but only
for 9 out of 10 people...
