Sorry I read the article partly and look at the main menu. I hadn't read the following part.
"If your vision is perfect, but you cannot use a mouse, your experience could be similar. Imagine having to use your tab key, and each time you tab into the menu, you must keep tabbing until you tab through all of the root-level and sub-menu links. That could be frustrating, too. So our goal is to hide the sub-menus and make it so that they are only revealed to people who can point at them with a mouse - typically, the vast majority of users." This is a good approach. I had this in my mind but get stuck on the tab focus. Thanks for the fresh look I will edit my menu.

I guess perhaps you didn't understand the "tabbing" issue as raised in the article. Tabbing (what you want) through the sub-menus is turned off for accessibility reasons. If you simply want to konw if one can tab through the sub-menus, well - yes - it is possible and it is the default behavior of our particular menu system. We make it default because we cannot predict how accessible our users will be able to make their pages, so it's kind of a "failsafe". Here is a default menu: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm/pagepacks/tommi/tommy_v1.htm Try it with your tab key and with javascript disabled.
