keypress problems
Ok, I have the latest milonic and keypress installed at http://www.frs-solutions.com but tab does not allow a user to progress through all menus. It will switch between top-level menus but does not enter sub-menus. The arrow keys must be used to navigate these menus but the preferred method of operation would be to have tab progress through all menu options. Is this possible?
Hi,
There is something wrong on your site because the keypress works fine on
http://milonic.com/
I tried a number of things but I can't find the problem. I suggest you try uploading the files again, maybe something got corrupted.

I've had the same problem, but perhaps a different reason....
After successfully adding keypress to my own licensed site, I thought I would get our college to buy a license, as well. But for that to happen, I would first have to demonstrate that the menu could be used with the Tab key.
keypress works on my licensed site, as I said, but on my test site for the college, the submenus opened, but you had to use the right-arrow key to get the cursor to move into the submenu. If you kept pressing Tab, the cursor kept going straight down.
(There were other oddnesses as well, but I'll just stick with this one for now)
After spending time comparing the two menus on the two sites, I realized there was one major difference.
The menu that works is a single horizontal menu.
The menu that doesn't work is one of two horizontal menus, one above the other.
When I remove the first horizontal menu (which is straight html links), the menu below it (which has the drop-down menus and sub-menus) suddenly works just fine.
If I reverse the call-order of the two menus inside the menu_data.js file AND ALSO reverse the "top=" setting of the two menus, the problem menu works, as well. (Note that both changes must be in place. If I just reverse the order, or only reverse the "top=" settings, the problem menu is still a problem)
So, the problem menu works only if it's the first of the two horizontal menus--and I want it to be the second one.
So, could this a bug in keypress?

Keypress issue
Was there any progress made on the keypress issue when two horizontal menus, one above the other, are present? There seemed to be an error when trying to tab through both menus.
Just wondering.
