Hey Thierry,

Sorry to say this but the keyboard friendly version: 
http://tjkdesign.com/articles/keyboard_friendly_dropdown_menu/EK.asp

Only fires, via keyboard, on "Articles E-K" in IEv8 or Firefox.

Mike

This menu may be "accessible", but is it usable?
Unless I am missing something, keyboard users need to go through *every
single link* in the menu to reach the last item :-(

I have these two:

http://tjkdesign.com/articles/new_drop_down/default.asp
http://tjkdesign.com/articles/keyboard_friendly_dropdown_menu/EK.asp

They show what's involved and what are the limitations.
"Pure CSS menus" are a bad idea, and hybrid implementations that claim to be
accessible simply because links are accessible are often bad solutions too.

Imho, users should be able to access all pages within a web site without
frustration.
