Make tabs ignore menu

Post by chunk »

Hi, I've just downloaded the sample menu and after viewing it in IE7 I've noticed that when you use the tab button, it highlights the menu links first.

Is there a way to make the tab key ignore the menu altogether, or at least look at it last?

Thanks.

Hi,

I will contact Milonic for information on this. I believe that would be a 'browser' programming issue to do with web accessibility. You know that powerful W3C place that develops the zillions of rules on how browsers are supposed to act/render as to standards and how pages are to be written/developed and so on.... :roll:

Now, I can give you info on how to make the full menu function through the tab key :) using the keypress.js module found here.--- http://milonic.com/menumodules.php

Is there some reason you need to have it not respond to tab? I know if you set it up relatively, then the tab won't go directly to the menu, but will only go through the main menu items when it reaches whatever cell/div where you placed it.
