The problem with this method is that it confuses the user. I looked at this site last night with your previous problem and was very surprised by the action when I clicked on About AMCS. Clicking on a navbar item should do what all other navbars do, take you to the page. How would a screen reader cope with this? You followed a link and then you've gone nowhere. Visually, you can see that the menu changed and nothing more but if you're not looking at the screen you assume you have gone to the about page. These things really should be done in a hover or onmouseover state so that a click follows the link. Same with keyboard operation (tabbing through and hitting enter). BTW I really love the swell banner on http://www.underwater.com.au/ P ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
