Re: [WSG] Select for menus
Hi Maurinerd, yes, it is for unifei (Universidade Federal de Itajubá ;D) Hi Stuart, Thank you, I will try this, but I'll try another word instead of go, because i've to use portuguese (something like go to because in portuguese go haven't the meaning of enter the site).

If a user [can't use a mouse and] has to use the arrow keys for navigating the menu you will find that jump menus tend to open the second option automatically (i.e. when the user first uses the arrow key) and this prevents the user from selecting the option they want.

Re: [WSG] Select for menus
Hi maurinerd! Thanks :) But the standard for Brazil is not the w3c, which should I follow? Hi Essential eBiz Solutions I'm aware the users don't recognize the menu with ul as the same menu of others sites. Maybe I could make it with the same arrow of the select.. It would be better than use a select, and the users will recognize it :) And Javascript will make the behavior (non-obtrusive for sure) Thank you []'s 2008/7/22 Mauryva Das - Midiaweb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Aloha Jaça/Rochester In terms of usability believe that it is better to use ul The standard for government sites in Brazil is select []'s Maurivan Luiz Em 22/07/2008, às 15:46, Rochester oliveira escreveu: Hi, I'm working on a job for a Brazilian university, and we should put on the page a menu with links for others government websites.

Re: [WSG] Select for menus
Hi again Jaça; I quoted the example of default on government sites here in Brazil. The site is for a public university? Cool! best regards; Maurivan Luiz.
