Website for the visually impaired
I have been asked to create a website for a group of users who are visually impaired. At first glance it was not a huge issue....they use a screen magnification app that zooms in to where you have focus so all was well.
Now, a SECOND set of users will be using the website and they need to use KEYBOARD ONLY....no mouse clicks.
I know they can use TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move between fields, but some of my page is created via AJAX calls and the TAB does not move to them. Also, there are a lot of TABLE elements where the user clicks on a row to fire an event. How can this all be done via keyboard? This is not a compiled web app, but rather a collection of classic ASP web pages. It currently resides on our Intranet, so I cannot share a link to it.

This is easy to overcome. Simply view source, copy the rendered code, save the to html file and upload to a public facing area. Strip out anything private. The end result is to create a simple and test case http://css-tricks.com/reduced-test-cases/ Or just you can recreate using jsbin and simulate the ajax calls.
Doing this will help us help you come up with a solution. Otherwise we are guessing.
