Safari and Lightbox

[clown.scheuhammer at utoronto.ca]

This morning, I did some experimentation with keyboard access with  
Safari on Mac and the lightbox component.

I've tested both the current release of Safari (v2.x), and the new  
3.0beta.  Also, I've done this test with both Lightbox.html loaded  
from the local file system, and the entire gallery tool deployed  
within Sakai.

The trick is a preference within Safari.  Open the "Advanced"  
preferences, and look for a check box labelled "Press Tab to highlight  
each item on a webpage", and make sure it is checked.  Then tabbing to  
the light box works, keyboard movement works, re-ordered via keyboard  
works, and even our latest drag-and-drop works.

I have yet to try this with Safari beta on Windows...
