RE: [WSG] CSS Expandable Menu

Hi Grant, It’s great you’re looking for an accessible menu solution, but I’d recommend not throwing away javascript solutions in the process. Yahoo has some great information on adding WAI-Aria roles and states to menu buttons using javascript that you may be able to adapt for your purposes

[WSG] RE: Accessible Modal/Lightbox Code

Hi Marvin, Your images currently aren't showing up. The problem appears to be that your code has a capital 'I' for your Images directory wherever you try and reference an image. If you convert these to lowercase you should have no problems. The alt tags appear to be fine and are showing
