Keyboard Navigation / Short cut issues

We use DynarchMenu (ver 2.8.1) in one of our application and we discovered an issue with keyboard Navigation (keyboard shortcuts) . I was wondering if someone could shed more light into this issue.

We have a top level menu that is accessible by keyboard Navigation (Alt+Underlined letter).If the first item under this menu is itself expandable, then keyboard navigation seems to fail.

Reproducible Scenario:

To illustrate this point, let's go to the demo site for the DynarchMenu at
http://www.dynarch.com/demos/hmenu/
Let's assume that I want to change my preference to choose the skin as Rainy. using just the keyboard strokes
I expect [Alt+p and S and R] to accomplish this.

Alt + p (Opens the preference menu with Select skin highlighted)
S [This should open up the select skin menu]
R [ Should set this property as Rainy]

This fails after the Alt+p step.

For example in IE To open a new window all I need to do is (Alt+F then N and then W). The same does not seem to work for Dynarch menu

In our application when we try to do something similar (Expand the first level menu under root menu we get a java sript error.

The error I get is "Object doesn't support this property or method" raised from hmenu.js file.

Could you provide more information on a workaround for this?

Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

We released version 2.8.2 with a fix for this issue.  Our demo is now updated, you can check for yourself. ;-)

You should be able to upgrade for free in your downloads page.

Best regards,
