Adding web accessibility to twitter bootstrap accordion

Question

I trying to add Keyboard Navigation to Twitter bootstrap accordion to enable web accessibility, Similar to http://hanshillen.github.io/jqtest/#goto_accordion .

I couldn't do the following:

Once the focus is on Accordion Tabs, I couldn't just navigate accordion header. When I hit tab, it navigates the all inner links in the group, then to the next heading.
I couldn't use up/down arrow keys
After last accordion header tab thro', focus shifts outside the accordion.

Answer 1

So here is what I am going to do for lack of a better solution:

To .collapse I will add a display:none; This will hide it from sighted users as well as screen readers. Then to .in I'll add display:block; , which will make it visible to both again. So then, it skips the content in the tab order when closed, and adds it back when open.

so:

    .collapse {
       display:none;
    }

    .in{
       display:block;
    }

I haven't tested on screen reader yet, but I think it should work for down-arrow back into reading text. I'll update if not.
