This is by design. Keyboard users could not reach these pages if they were not focusable at least from the parent page. The "About this solution" section says: "Note that keyboard users cannot skip the sub-menu related to the current page. This is because this sub-menu is exposed to SE (Search Engines) and thus accessible to keyboard users when JS is off." The sub-menus open via the *enter key*, this is to allow keyboard users to skip sub menus so they are not forced to tab through all the menu items. If the menu is "accessible", it is *because* the sub menu related to the page itself *is* focusable (it is not styled with display:none). What this menu is missing though is a arrow pointer for *discoverability*. I have a title in there, but I think it's pretty useless (for 99.99% of users). If I had time, I'd add arrows and ARIA roles too. -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
