Links

When on the "Manage Rooms" page as an instructor, the "Edit", "Delete", "Clear History", "Set as Default" links do not make sense when taken out of context.

Add hidden link text that adds name of the chat room as context to screen reader users. For example:

HTML:

<div id="..." class="itemAction"><a ...>Edit<span class="skip"> Alternate Chat Room Settings.</span></a>
|
<a ...>Delete<span class="skip"> the Main Chat Room.</span></a>
|
<a ...>Clear History<span class="skip">&nbsp; for the Main Chat Room.</span></a>
|
<a ...>Set <span class="skip">Main Chat Room</span> as Default</a>

CSS:

.skip
{    position: absolute;
    left: -999em;
    width: 1em;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Links

When in a chat room as an instructor, the "Options" and "Change Room" links have the same destination/function. They both allow for changing the room.

Should the "Options" link be removed?

Functionality

Select menus have onChange events that change the page context when exploring the options with arrow keys in IE.

This is a global issue in Sakai. Exploring use of a jQuery event handling routine to create a more accessible user interaction for select menus in IE.
