As a user I have some difficulty with "fly out" and "pop up" menus. Firstly I find them difficult visually. Although my eye sight is reasonably good I do not like sudden movement on the screen. Secondly, I find that such menu items can be difficult to keep the mouse on although I do not have any movement disability. In general I have an aversion to sites using these techniques and I tend to avoid them if I can. I consider that there are definitely accessability issues with them, especially for people who have motor neurone problems. Denis Watson, Web Editor, Productivity Commission.

The type I'm talking about are CSS based, ie no JavaScript but I'd be interested to hear what people think about those that utilise JavaScript. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mary-Anne Nayler Senior Web Designer/Developer Web Services Section Medicare Australia (02) 6124 6681 ************************************************************************ ******** NOTICE - This message is intended only for the use of the addressee named above and may contain privileged and confidential information.
