I am getting asked whether your controls are Section 508 compliant. Is there a way to make your controls Section 508 compliant. One specific problem we were informed of was the inability to tab through the menu control's links. I've noticed the EnableKeyboardNavigation property, but havent found any details of how that can be used. Any info you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I belive our controls are in compliant. Section 508 does not require you to use tab keys, it only requires to be "keyboard accessible". We actually thought about the tab keys, but found out that tab keys is IE's default behavior for links, other browsers may not have this behavior, for example, Opera uses "A" to tab between links. Since our menu items are not rendered as links, so they do not inherits these default behavior. You can still use arrow keys to navigate between items.

Thanks
