Description

[Michael Kwong]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205
BuildID:    2002020511

When using TAB to traverse the links, etc of a rendered web page, it skips over
Java applets, making it not possible to access the functionality of applets
using keyboard alone.

1.Access http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/IconDemoApplet.html
2.Using the tab key to tab through the various links on the page.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/IconDemoApplet.html
2.Using the tab key to tab through the various links on the page.


Actual Results:  keyboard focus never enters the java applet

Expected Results:  keyboard focus will enter the Java applet, allowing the user
to access the java buttons using the keyword


This will cause any web pages using java applets to be non-compliant with 508.
