Keyboard Navigation Question

Post by Fastrac_Jon »

Hello forum,

We have used the milonic menu in our web-based product and are experiencing a problem. For section 508 reasons (special needs access standards) we need for people to be able to access and navigate our site using only the keyboard. The problem is that once the keyboard focus enters the milonic menu and tabs from left to right, once the keyboard focus reaches the last menu on the right-hand side, the next tab takes you back to the menu on the lefthand side. There is no way to get past the drop-down menus using the keyboard that we can figure out. Sometimes the escape key will break focus away from these menus and allow users to continue tabbing through the rest of the site but that is intermittent. If anyone has any idea how we can navigate past this menu using the keyboard, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Joh,

This is going to be something Milonic will have to answer. Just wanted to let you know I have posted to them.
