I am a die-hard superfish menu fan :) Fully aware of the argument. IMHO, this issue is like chicken and egg which comes first tiring and constantly on-going debate, which I have long given up :-) IMHO, this is a fundamental issue that should be fixed by the browser (with arrow keys, and with combination of ARIA perhaps?) that allow satisfying both, not by one school of developers who strongly believe in his way is better (who are you to dictate I wouldn't want to tab through all links and block me from accessing all the sub-links! Damn! Talk about freedom of accessibility!), and another school of developers believing her way is better (and who are you to dictate me to tab through all links - I may not want to do that 6 days in a row, but on Sunday I want the choice to be able to tab through all links just because it's a god-given fundamental right). Having said that, I re-word my sentence: One of the best practises, and me, as a Superfish Menu fan thinks, is to use the absolute positioning to control submenu..... tee ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
