#8990: widgets drop down menus NO ACCESSIBILITY

     Type:  defect (bug)  |      Status:  new
 Priority:  high          |   Milestone:  2.8
Component:  Widgets       |     Version:  2.7
 Severity:  major         |    Keywords:     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The dropdown menus on the widgets are an accessibility disaster to the
 general reading public. There simply is no submit button, so for text
 browsers, people with javascript turned off, and search engines, there
 is no way to select an item! Note, I am complaining about the page
 produced to the general public, not the administrator interface.

 If the user makes the unfortunate choice of enabling drop down menus,
 he unknowingly tosses accessibility out the door into the trash can.
 If you won't fix it, please put a warning on the checkbox.
