It seems that Acrobat 7 has changed the way that radio boxes work. In Acrobat 6, you would use the tab key to go between the individual radio buttons. In 7, you tab into the radio button group, but each individual box is accessed from the arrow keys (more Windows like). The other difference appears to be that you used to be able to use the "mouse up" event to access someone who would hit the space bar to select the radio box. This no longer works.
It also seems that the tab order of the document gets all messed up when you mark certain fields "readonly" and then change the fields to be not "readonly". I do this based upon the choices a user makes in radio boxes. Sometimes, it will work for a few times after I open the document, but then it doesn't work correctly.
The radio box situation is inconsistent. I have one set of boxes with significant text for each box, and 7 wants to "tab" between those fields, but on another page in the same document, it behaves as described above.
Well, anyone have any thoughts? If you want to see what I mean, use Reader 7 to view some of the documents with radio fields that you created in Acrobat 6.
P.S. Where are the Javascript reference materials for 7?
