Navigating pop-up windows

At various times, Workplace XT displays information or error messages in a pop-up window. This section explains how to navigate each type of window using the keyboard, and other accessibility information.

Table 1. This table describes the keys necessary to navigate pop-up windows without a mouse.
Pop-up window type Keyboard options
Information To close, press Esc.
Search To cancel the search, press Esc.
Alert To close, tab to the available buttons in the window.

(For Search only) When the alert box indicates that one or more errors occurred, the screen reader reads all errors, even though they aren't displayed in the alert window. When you close the window, the focus automatically resets to the first error.

Error To view the full error message, tab to Error output and press Enter. Then tab to the error message. To close, press Esc.
Note: In Virtual PC Cursor mode, the focus resets to the top of the current page after the pop-up windows is closed.
Input Type the requested information. To close, tab to OK or Cancel, and press Enter.

Specifying dates

When you specify a date, you often have the option to select the date from a pop-up calendar. However, you cannot select a date from the calendar using the keyboard; to specify the date using the keyboard, you must type the date in the date field.
