Our client asked us if there was a way to click away from a
"pop up" (small page displaying on a larger page, usually showing a
list of values/data" without clicking on the mouse.
Apparently, that is a requirement by the ADA (American
Disability Association) for screen readers.
What I mean here is that when a user sees a pop-up on the
screen, they should be able to click delete/back or some other
button to shift away from the pop-up back to the main screen.
Robohelp is apparently 508/Screen Reader compliant, but does
not provide specifics as to how to accomplish this.
I cannot quickly find a way but one thing puzzles me. The
user has to click the popup to open it but they also have to be
given a means of closing it without clicking the link.
BTW. Keys on the keyboard are pressed, not clicked. It makes
it easier for people to understand the issue.

hi,
If you generate webhelp output, and select "Section 508
Compliant output", then user will not see the popup window at all.
Please try checking the option in webhelp output and see if this
solves the purpose.

It would be nice if Adobe actually documents what they cover
and what they don't with this "Section 508" compliance matters.
It's a big deal for disabled/assistance -requring users, and there
is little documentation to tell them how to use this tool
Even in their Help reference all they state is:
Section 508 Compliant Output For Section 508-compliant
WebHelp, click Section 508 Compliant Output. With this option you
cannot use skins or other features (such as Dynamic HTML).
It would be good to know what they do cover and what they
don't in 508 compliance, and the specific differences between
WebHelp outputs and 508 Compliance versions.
Any insight into finding such information is appreciated, as
I've searched everywhere and only found general documentation, but
no specifics!
