I think the handbook is great!
It is not the content I would like to call your attention to, but rather
the way the online version can be browsed.
I use the keyboard to navigate the pages. But I always grab the mouse to
klick on "next".
On some small site for the Uni, I had a simular problem. I put a
ok-button only form on the pages. This way a <enter> (or on most
systems a <space>) will trigger the "ok" button and send me to
the next page. It worked under Mac-IE Mac-Netscape (serveral
versions), *BSD en Linux Konqueror, Opera, Netscape (multiple
versions) and IE, Netscape and Opera on the Windows platforms.
I used this html code:
<form action="NEXT URL" method="POST" name="frm">
<div align="right">
<input type="submit" name="okb" value=" NEXT >>">
</div>
</form>
Than I added a "focus()" to the BODY tag like this:
<body ... onLoad="window.document.frm.okb.focus();">
This will enhance the system a bit. Non JavaScript systems (this I
tested) will ignore the onLoad param.
Even if focus is not on the form, there is still something to
klick on. Only it looks like a button, not a link.
I think the button is better looking, but that is my taste.
Adding a simular thing to the online handbook would enhance my
browsing experience!
Thanx for reading till...
the end.
