Today, I ran into a strange error when I was developping a custom InfoPath enabling some cascading dropdown menus (this subject interests you? Take a look at the Cascading Dropdowns in Browser Forms article from the InfoPath Team Blog).
Here is the exception I encountered:
Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred. Line 1, position 708. System.Xml.XmlException: Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred. Line 1, position 708.[...]
After a lot of searches on the Internet, I’d found a very helpful post on the InfoPathDev forums.

Very simple… if you know it!

There are lots of articles and resources on the Internet which talk about the theory of the accessibility matter. However, there are not many technical articles which explain how the standards are really implemented or how a web developer has to implement them.
This first article focuses on how to give the… focus on a non-focusable HTML element with jQuery.
It extends (and I hope, completes) the original article written by C. Blouch and published on the Donald F. Evans’s website.
