Re: [orca-list] Should Orca treat navigational bars as lists or not

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

Speaking as a hand coder, I created a navbox for my website that is 
functionally a list, but I styled out the bullets so that it doesn't 
look to the seeing user like a list. My box starts at the top left and 
goes down, but I'm actually thinking of presenting it as a navbar across 
the top. That said, it is not at all my intention for a navbox/bar to be 
seen by any user as a list. It is for navigation purposes, not for 
counting things. Perhaps a screen  reader user may want to be able to 
navigate through items in the navbar list, but since these are links, 
he/she can do so using Orca's link navigation keys. Since navboxes/bars 
are usually at the top of the page, navigating to the top of the page 
first before navigating by links will usually ensure that Orca is 
reading navbar links as opposed to other types of information on the 
page. TL;DR, my opinion on this from a design perspective is not to 
treat a navbar as a list, even though lists are used in the layout of 
the navbar.
