508 WAI ARIA practices suggest that the Tab key should not be used to navigate within a tree #372

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When a user tabs through a web page and encounters a tree, it seems that the 
best practice for 508 compliance (http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/) is 
for the tab to put the focus on the tree and then a subsequent tab continues on 
past the tree on to the next element. Currently, the tab key is equivalent to 
the down arrow key and thus users using only a keyboard must navigate through 
the entire tree before being able to exit. It would be helpful one could set an 
attribute to modify the behavior of tab events to allow for a tab event to hop 
over the tree. In this case the user can use arrow keys to navigate within the 
tree if desired.

As of 2014 Dynatree is feature frozen.
Please have a look at Fancytree (sequel of DynaTree 1.x): chances are good that 
the problem was resolved / the requested featuer is already implemented.
Please open a new issue there otherwise:
