Simply Google is great…but I didn’t notice Google’s UncleSam search option. http://www.google.com/unclesam Is it there, or are you calling it something else?

Thanks so much!

Could you add Google’s I’m Feeling Lucky search to this?

Thanks.

I did think of that, but then I wondered if that was adding too much in to the original. I know I could do what I liked, but I wanted to re-work Chris’s original table layout to CSS without changing the view or functionality. Likewise I wondered about whether to only add tabindex for the search input elements and ignore the links, but in the end left as is. Not sure if I did the right thing.

“Should I have placed higher importance on the tab order or on the appearance of the page with no CSS?”

How about using tabindexes on the text and submit inputs? Could be a little confusing for those who like to tab through everything, links and all… but there are likely more people who just tab through form elements* so it would make it easier on the majority
