Superfish is a jQuery plugin for progressive enhancement of suckerfish-
style HTML/CSS drop-down menus. It can be found at
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/

The original Superfish plugin used jQuery's hide() method, which sets
an inline css attribute of display: none on the hidden menus. This has
the unintended effect of making screen readers skip over the submenus.
Since screen readers cannot easily trigger the hover event, this
effectively blocks them from accessing any of the sub menu items.

This modification changes the css technique used to hide the menus
visually while leaving them available for screen readers.

(Apologies if this is the wrong place for this posting - the author of
the original Superfish plugin mentioned this list as the place for
support for the plugin. Thanks!)
