Subject: Any alternative to reveal elements onfocus just like onmousehover in Rich Internet Applications ?
No previous message | Next message →

Hi List,
This is a user functionality , I am searching for which I think may
be "quite possible using jquery."

Consider an example of "Dropdown menu"
for a sighted user "onmousehover" over the main button / link
reveals the sub-headings.
I am expecting the same functionality for a keyboard user, when he
tabs into the button / link.
Example:

<ul class="TopMenu">
<li class="level_1" onmouseout="hideOverlay();"
onmouseover="showOverlay(this);">

For which I tried adding , onfocus="hideOverlay();", sadly didn't work.

Question : Can somebody suggest any good working implementable
examples / links (please dont give any framework examples )
............?

Question :Is is not justified that if a sighted user can reveal links
onmousehover .. a non sighted user can and should do the same on
tabbing ?

This I guess can be very useful for accessible dropdown menus and
expandable / collapsible regions.

Thanks in advance .....

onfocus="hideOverlay()" ??? is it showOverlay(). Make sure your button is
getting focus (use CSS for highlighting). Use focus/blur events for your
hover actions. It should work.
