Re: [WSG] Dropmenu accessibility and layout problem IE6
Al Sparber wrote: Having a hierarchical menu operate via the keyboard is, in my opinion, not the most accessible approach. This simple example page might provide some insight into how to apprach the accessibility of a dropdown or flyout menu: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/ug-examples/accessible/ Multiple hubpages reached are an excellent fallback for the non-JS state, and I'd agree that using multiple hubs is a reasonable keyboard-accessible alternative for dropdowns, particular as opposed to having lots of options in the tab order. However: * Opening submenus by activating a button-type control (e.g. pressing enter) avoids the need for excess tabbing. (Assuming your submenu links aren't tabbable when submenus are closed.) * I'm a bit uncomfortable with indicating to the keyboard user that a menu will dropdown with an arrow (as in your example), but sending them to another page instead. A possible enhancement might be making the arrow appear on mouse hover only? On the whole, I favour multiple hubpages over dropdown menus as a navigation pattern for typical content-driven websites as opposed to web applications - they keep options simple and visible. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
