Re: [WSG] Select for menus
Hi Maurinerd, yes, it is for unifei (Universidade Federal de Itajubá ;D) Hi Stuart, Thank you, I will try this, but I'll try another word instead of "go", because i've to use portuguese (something like "go to" because in portuguese "go" haven't the meaning of "enter" the site).

RE: [WSG] Select for menus
A drop down list with a "Go" button is better than a jump menu for accessibility standards. If a user [can't use a mouse and] has to use the arrow keys for navigating the menu you will find that jump menus tend to open the second option automatically (i.e. when the user first uses the arrow key) and this prevents the user from selecting the option they want.

RE: [WSG] Select for menus
As far as I am aware the select option on a drop down list use's Javascript to make it into a jump menu. If you want to cater to the wider audience I would say using and CSS would be a much better option. Maybe have the jump menu but have the javascript de-grade if a users haven't got it and show a drop down menu with CSS?
