Description

Would it be better if cell nav were to follow the following guidelines? http://access.aol.com/dhtml-style-guide-working-group/#grid

I think it would fix some of the problems with being unable to use the arrow keys inside of a cell in a grid to manipulate dropdowns and input boxes.

This is an example of a grid that uses this keyboard setup. http://oaa-accessibility.org/example/18/
