[Accessibility_sig] JavaScript Accessibility

[Jan Heck]

I am interested in this online survey tool, but I don't understand how it
can be strictly keyboard-navigable. When I attempt to select a radio button
with the Enter key, it submits the form and takes me to a different page.

Hi Kathy-

I had mentioned I had a accessible online survey program, and you 
expressed an interest. The survey is accessible, but the survey admin is 
not.

here's a sample survey:
http://www.toolsforhabitat.com/sys-php/survey.php?thisSurvey=SURVEY_1

here's the admin for the survey:
http://www.toolsforhabitat.com/sys-php/admin/surveys/
  use:
    test at mail.com
    password

It's a PHP application, and does not require a database. The HTML tools 
you will see on the "Survey Introduction" & "Survey Completed Text" 
fields on the edit form are not included off my server.

I you would be interested in this, or know anyone else who would be, 
just let me know. It would be pretty easy to 'package' to drop on a 
server and it work.

Thanks,

Wes
