Hi Antony, Take a look at the suckerfish dropdowns, which have been improved by htmldog at http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/example/ Fully unobtrusive, accessible and still a nice look and feel!
Succes, Marc van den Dobbelsteen (WebbForce - The Netherlands) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Golding, Antony Verzonden: vrijdag 28 januari 2005 8:59 Aan: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Onderwerp: [WSG] Drop down menu, JavaScript & accessibility Hello all, We have been operating a drop down menu system on http://www.salford.gov.uk for around a year now and in that time, the menu has changed from a pure JavaScript version to the more accessible and semantic UDM4 (http://www.udm4.com). As a local government site, we get tested for accessibility regularly, both internally and by external parties, together with our own tests. Our CMS is still in the dark ages as regards web standards and producing accessible code, but I've managed to get much of the site valid as possible (Google currently indexes 33,700 pages, minus .pdf and .doc files). However one of the more recent external tests indicated that the drop down menu was failing the site due to the way the menu appears if JavaScript is disabled. I'd be interested in any opinions on the menu, with JavaScript enabled and disabled. Also, any alternative script or recommendations would be very useful.
