Collapsed Topics toggles, accessibility and the space bar.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make Collapsed Topics more accessible by adding the ARIA button information: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_button_role - which I've done, however the 'space bar' detection is not working for me with the JS line in module.js:

Y.delegate('key', this.toggleClick, 'up:32', 'ul.ctopics .toggle', this);

Ref: http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/event/key.html

however, in testing I've found that the 'enter' key works to activate the toggle on and off.  Is this OK to use instead of the space bar?

Cheers,

Gareth

Humm,

Even tried...

    Y.use('node-event-delegate', 'event-key', function (Y) {
        Y.delegate('key', M.format_topcoll.toggleClick, 'up:32', 'ul.ctopics .toggle');
    });

and

    YUI().use('node-event-delegate', 'event-key', function (Y) {
        Y.delegate('key', M.format_topcoll.toggleClick, 'up:32', 'ul.ctopics .toggle');
    });

and

    YUI().use('node-event-delegate', 'event-key', function (Y) {
        Y.delegate('key', M.format_topcoll.toggleClick, 'up:32', 'ul.ctopics .toggle', M.format_topcoll);
    });

but sad

Hi Gareth

I would think the Enter key would work just as well as the Space bar. It just need to be stated what key works.

Thanks Kim, do you know of any 'standard' that states what the keys are expected to be?

Unfortunately all I know about are the OS system shortcut keys (here is what the US has for Mac and Windows).
