Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2013-01-14 16:12:00 EST
The orionInfoArea needs to be more keyboard accessible.
Specifically, if a keyboard-only user sees [more info...] and it looks like a link, then they will expect to be able to activate the link by typing Enter when the link has focus.

At present, the entire area gets focus, and Enter does nothing.

I am not certain if this area is expected to sometimes have multiple links in it? If so, then each link will need to be focusable, and activate on Enter.

In addition, if the text of each link is simply "[more info...]" then each one will need to incorporate the corresponding info message into their label somehow.
For example, either:
1) <div id="orionInfoLink1" described-by="orionInfoMessage1" ...>
or
2) <div id="orionInfoLink1" labelled-by="orionInfoMessage1 orionInfoLink1" ...>
