Widget select boxes could be more accessible

[jidanni]

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.

Perhaps you could post a patch which would resolve the issue. One approach that springs to mind would be adding submit buttons and then writing some JavaScript to hide them and submit the form when an option is chosen from the select box.

I should note that forms can be submitted in most browsers by hitting the 'Enter' key when a form field is selected.

Bumping this to 2.9 since no patch is provided.
