LWUIT Scroll List issue - java-me

I have 5 Lists in my Form. They are hidden and when I show one of them, the focus go inside the List and the Form doesn't scroll. I want to show all the List, navigate across it and keep my Formscrolling showing that List.Is there any way to make a Listno scrollable?
EDIT/CLARIFICATION
I show a Form with a Button. When I press this Button a List is showed under the Button. When the focus enter inside the List, the Liststarts to scroll, but the Formdoesn't, and I can't see the other elements. What I want is...a List no scrollable and a Formscrollable that let me see the rest of the List.

In the photo, you can see, the CheckBoxes are in the List. This List has a scrollbar but is his scrollbar not from the Form.

There is no way to make a list none scrollable but that shouldn't matter. If your form is scrollable and uses the correct layout (e.g. BoxLayout Y), then everything should just work (assuming you revalidate after adding a new list).
Personally I would use Components/Containers rather than lists for a design as elaborate as this. They provide lots of advantages over lists such as more refined focus/touch behavior.

image blocking interaction to buttons

I can't post images yet so if you look here you can see my menu and the shadow from the content on the right is mostly alpha channel that is covering my menu items. This is catching all the interaction that I want to go to the menu buttons. How can I fix this while still having the shadow?
I have already tried these different functions of the View class:
.setAlpha(0);
.setEnabled(false);
.setClickable(false);
.setEnabled(false);
.setFocusable(false);
All to no avail. With .setVisibility(GONE) the buttons work, but there is no shadow. So I need a way to keep the shadow and allow clicks through.

How to create a user-impaired accessible website: surfing without a mouse?

I have created a webpage using Backbone.js and Marionette.js that mostly consists of a bootstrap accordion view that displays a list of items when the accordion header is clicked. Each item can also be clicked, which will show a hidden div of detailed information that pertains to that particular item.
I would like to make this site accessible to people who might not be using a mouse (Maybe they're visually impaired and using a screen reader? Maybe they just don't like clicking things? Either way.) I'm thinking that this would mean being able to press the Tab key to get to the accordion, pressing Space or Enter to open the accordion, Tabbing down (or down arrow key?) through the list items, and then using Space or Enter to show the selected item's hidden div.
I'm finding it difficult to find information on how to add a feature like this, since searches like "How to make an accessible website that can be used without a mouse" mostly turns up blogs on what a developer should do to add accessibility to a page, and not much on how to do it.
Currently, the page doesn't really respond to any keyboard buttons. Any tips or resources you could share would be extremely appreciated. I've been fiddling with ARIA role tags, but I'm either not doing it right or it's not the answer here.

How to enable "position:fixed" for elements that are within an isotope item?

I am currently using isotope to organize my portfolio. I found that if I decided to place elements inside an isotope item and make these elements' position as fixed, they will not displace fixed on screen. Instead, these elements will use the isotope item's x and y position as the initial screen position. For instance, if I place an element as position:fixed and left:0; top:0; this element will not display on the top left corner of the screen. Instead, it will display on the top left corner of the isotope item.
Another issue I encounter is that the z-index of the element inside of the isotope item is not independent. If I give the element a greater z-index than other isotope items, say if the element has the z-index of 100, and all isotope items have the z-index of 10, the "portfolio_display" will still display behind all isotope items.
To explain what I am trying to achieve:
I want to make the isotope items become clickable, and when it is being activated, a full screen portfolio display will show up and take over the screen.
I do know plugin such as lightbox 2 will work. However, I like to have my portfolio display have much richer functions than lightbox 2. I want to put case study, images, videos, in the full screen mode, and each screen can be format like web page. So my method is to put multiple formatted divs into an isotope item, and use javescript (written by myself) to control their visibility and scrolling. This method works until I started integrate isotope to my portfolio.
I imagine isotope created a little "web page" inside of the bigger "web page" so it dictates the z-index and the position inside of its own. I like to know if I can disable isotope's dictation to its sub elements without breaking its great functionality.
Thank you.
For your full-window display purposes, you can change the modal overlay technique in this demo to your purposes. No plugin needed, you can put whatever you want to show in there, not just use it as an easy self-made modal.

Orchard CMS 1.5 Navigation sub menus

New to Orchard. I have been looking for some documentation on how the menus actually work. It appears that you can have hierarchical menus, but I cannot find any good information on this.
It took me a while to figure this out too. You can see how to create a navigational menu in this video (around 8:45, but i'd recommend watching the entire video).
Basically, you need to drag & drop an item below and to the right of another content item in order to make a nested menu item.
Yes, you can. Since 1.5 you can create hierarchical menus from Navigation admin screen. Hierarchy (and reordering) of items can easily be created by drag & drop.
Navigation screen is used to define your menus. In order to display a defined menu you need to put Menu Widget in the zone of your choice. When you create that widget you need to choose which menu is it going to display. Besides the choice of the menu, you can also choose some other optional parameters if you need to customize the display more (eg. display only certain level).

GXT, how to display the widgets labels with a VBOXLayout

I have been trying to resolve this by myself but I can't find any answers. I need the text fields the combo box, etc., to display its own label, but I can't put it to work on a panel different from the FormPanel (in which all works great). I'm trying to display the labels for a text field on a VBoxLayout but I don't find the way to do it.
I need to work with a VBoxLayout because I need the widgets to position in the middle of the form after the window is maximized or minimized and this layout is the only one that proves to work. Is there another way to accomplish this?
Add another LayoutContainer and then set the panel to use FormLayout for example
LayoutContainer innerPanel = new LayoutContainer();
innerPanel.setLayout(new FormLayout());
Now it will work just like a form panel.
