Hi Steve,
That's an interesting way to call the lightbox and it works with keyboard controls for me in IE8, FF3.0, FF3.6 border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin-left: 5px; width: 100%;"> Yes, it was tested in all browsers and I just tested it again in Firefox on Windows and Mac - it works ok for me. What is not working for you? I don't understand your point about the placement of the Close button, but I agree that the focus indication should be clearer - we asked for that but it didn't get implemented.

It doesn't seem to allow keyboard support for the modal window. Also, a usability glitch IMHO, the close button should be placed in the last keyboard control, reason is that, if the content in the modal window is intended for reading and there are links within it that depends on keyboard control, you won't want users to close the window before they even have a chance to tab through the content. Having the close button placed in the last keyboard control prevents users to close it - once you hit the "Get Started" (if you miss the enter key (the focus is not as obvious despite the outlined) when you are at the button) it doesn't allow you to go through the tab again to close the window. tee ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* Links: ------ [1] http://htmltools.moneymadeclear.org.uk/mortgage-calculator/index.aspx ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
