Hi Kane,
If it’s of help: /* Guideline 9.4: Do not attempt to create your own tab order. That is a job for a browser and adaptive technology. */ When and where needed (in web forms for instance), I create a tabindex order starting with the number 11 and proceed from there. This usually bypasses the generic built-in browser tab order. /* Guideline 9.5: Don’t provide your own keyboard shortcuts. That is a job for a browser or adaptive technology. */ I provide keyboard shortcuts for global navigation situated on each web page. I cross-browser test to make sure each character I’m using for the Alt + key shortcut doesn’t interfere with generic browser shortcuts. Kind regards, Frank M.

It raises many discussion points two of which mirror my own personal opinion... Guideline 9.4: Do not attempt to create your own tab order. That is a job for a browser and adaptive technology. Guideline 9.5: Don’t provide your own keyboard shortcuts. That is a job for a browser or adaptive technology. I have always found these priority three guidelines to be counter productive because they often conflict with the built-in navigation controls from browsers and screen readers making the website harder to use by those you are trying to help by following the guidelines. What is your opinion on the errata ? Kind Regards, Kane Tapping Web Standards Developer Web and Content Management Services Griffith University. 4111. Australia.
