Currently, the Vote Up/Down thumb widgets aren't usable on a keyboard in the Commons project (issue also filed there #1450962: Make the Vote Up/Down widgets keyboard accessible)

Users should be able to tab to the up or down and submit a vote using just the keyboard.

I actually can tab and vote in the thumbs widget.

Hmm, I wonder what the difference is? I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.8. in Chrome 17 (latest version) with a fresh D6 install. I couldn't get the keyboard to cooperate at all in Firefox.

I made a short screencast

Oh, the screencast is about upanddown widget :-)

But I tried to vote also on that widget and I could vote.
I am on a firefox 10.0.2 on Debian.

But I could reproduce it on a webkit browser, on Epiphany 3.2.1

Definitely is something on the markup.

I'm open to suggestions.

Would like to know if this has been evaluated in the D7 version? I tried to test this, but ran into problems with the D7 alpha1 release #1950190: Notices on vud_node, vud_term and vud_comment
