Well basically, we have duty to ensure our site is accessible to all,
as does everyone, and when you load a lightbox/thickbox with content
we have the issue that you cursor position doesn't change to the
lightbox/thickbox, so those using assistive technology such as a
screen reader will just carry on from where the trigger was. we need
to make sure that the user is aware there's new content on the page
and switch there focus to there.
