Sorry Thierry I only took a quick look at the page and didn't read it fully.

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 ******************************************************************* This is a confidential email.
