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 (or on most systems a ) 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:
Than I added a "focus()" to the BODY tag like this: 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.
