[thelist] one more thing about browsers...

[rudy]

speaking of cross-browser, does anyone know how accessible a "jump" form
is?

   <form action="go.cgi">
     <select>
         <option>... <option>...
     </select>
     <input type=submit value="Go">
   <form>

what do screen readers do, read the options?  do text browsers support
forms?  forms go right back to html 1.0, right?  what about mobile and
handheld devices -- would an <ol> list of links be preferable to a
dropdown?

i have been using the onChange technique (i.e. without the Go button) but
since this is dependent on javascript, i've also always offered text links

now i'm planning to change this design, to remove the onChange javascript
and use a functioning Go button instead, so how important are the text
links?
