I had a similar example (wouldn't work in IE 5 or 6 though).  I'd post it,

I'm kind of glad that being able to access every item, even if it's not 
pretty counts as keyboard accessible, because I'd been wondering about that.

It only works in IE5.5, IE6 and IE7 by using :active since these three 
browser treat :active as good browsers treat :focus. A buggy IE 
implementation that is useful. :-)

[css-d] Drop-down navigation without javascript

2011-01-27 Thread Jess Hardy

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a solution for creating a single level 
drop-down that can be activated by the keyboard but does not use the 
standard suckerfish approach.


I had come across one previously but can not find the article.

This should be possible using the :focus and/or :active functions, or am 
I wrong?

I think TJK's drop-down may meet your requirement...
Script-free modern browsers / keyboard-friendly
   
http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/keyboard_friendly_dropdown_menu/default.asp
Best,

Bearing in mind that the title of the thread
is ... /without javascript/, I am somewhat
concerned that the TJK dropdown does not meet
this criterion : its description includes the
statement It uses non-obtrusive Javascript
There is no use of inline event handlers, so
it would seem that JavaScript /is/ involved.

I cannot find it, but I thought that Gabriel Romanato offered up such a 
navigation bar not too long ago.
