Wednesday, February 12th, 2003Accessiblity Catch of the Day:
- Tab Through Flash Extension – Flash, when used in conjunction with other HTML elements on a page, will trap the tab function once you tab into the Flash movie. This can prevent someone that can only navigate using the TAB and Shift-TAB keys from being able to navigate your page properly. This can pose a problem for people with disabilities and therefore is a concern regarding 508 Accessibility issues. This extension helps resolve the issue of Flash trapping the tab function when browsing a website without a mouse.
