Subject: Entering Forms Mode on my web applicaiton is erratic




Hi All,
I need some help with a navigation bar on my web app.
I have setup keyboard navigation to work with my navigation bar on my web
app.

the user presses tab to give the first button focus and then
navigates the buttons on the bar using the up and down arrows
And if they want to see the menu items the user presses enter or the space
bar to show
the popup with the menu items.

Well, up until the latest version of 14, my keyboard navigation doesn't
work anymore.
If I turn JAWS off, keyboard navigation works fine.
I started tweaking some properties in JAWS so I can hear when Forms mode is
entered and exited.
I found that once I tab to the first button on my toolbar, forms mode is
on,
but then I hit the down arrow to get to the next button and it turns off.

If I change my preferences to turn forms mode on manually,
keyboard navigation works properly.
Here is an example of my nav bar

<div class="navigatorDiv" role="navigation" tabindex="0"
aria-describedby="NavId_desc" aria-label="Navigation Bar">
<span id="NavId_desc" style="display:none">Use up and down arrow keys to
move among folders and space to open a folder.</span>
<div class="bNavbar" id="navbardiv" tabindex="-1" role="toolbar"
aria-label="Navigation Bar">
<div id="topNav" class="topNavBar">

<div class="navFolderDiv" id="assetsFolderDiv" tabindex="0"
onkeydown="var keyCode = (window.event) ? window.event.keyCode :
event.keyCode; if(keyCode == 32 || keyCode == 13){ onHover
('assetsFolderPopup','assetsFolderDiv'); } else if(keyCode == 27){ onLeave
('assetsFolderPopup'); } "><input class="offScreen" type="button"
role="presentation" tabindex="-1" value="" name="assetsFolder_button"><div

</script>


</div>

</div>

</div>

Is there something I can do to make forms mode occur more consistently on
my
navigation bar?
Thanks!
