Anthony-

I've not checked your site and am not familiar with that menu system, but it
appears they have just updated their menus to be more accessible. How or in
what way, I have no clue.

This is from their home page:

Latest Update
Saturday 15th January 2005
This release is a signficant update in terms of accessibility, usability,
and cross-browser support. Existing users are encouraged to read these
release notes carefully, as the changes may affect your current
configuration...

And the menu's accessibility to screenreaders is greatly improved, so it no
longer relies on scripting, and includes any browser-based reader using
Opera, Mozilla, Safari or Konqueror (as well as Win/IE).
