I've been playing with making drop down menus work with both mouse and keyboard navigation.
Basically take the default css (suckerfish) style drop down and add unique id's for each ul tag and add an onfocus for each <a href tag that calls about nine lines of js to allow keyboard navigation. So whats the problem?
Well now I've got a menu that fully works and is accsessable by both mouse & keyboard as long as js is enabled.
If js is disabled the dropdown with mouse still works but the keyboard doesn't activate the dropdown, which is always the case with suckerfish style menus. At least the status bar shows the URL.
So what's the question?
Should I feel good or bad that I've made something more accessable by using the devils js?
Have i gone forward or backward in terms of accessibility?
