Accessibility Mode Features That Enhance Usability

- Dropdown menus include a Go button that you select to navigate to the option you choose in the dropdown list.
- Menu buttons are rendered as a dropdown list with a Go button.
- Overlay pages are rendered as separate popup windows.
- The HTML editor is replaced with a text box. This text box only accepts HTML and does not recognize plain text entries like carriage returns. To separate content, you must use paragraph or line break HTML tags.

- The Edit Columns link on the Manage Members page, accessible via the Manage Members dropdown on a campaign detail page, becomes a dropdown button. The Edit Columns overlay is replaced by a standard setup page.
- Clicking a requested meeting in the Open Activities related list and in some list views doesn’t open the meeting detail page. Instead, a dialog opens that instructs you to contact the meeting organizer for details about the requested meeting.
