This example includes the box-hover effect that many designers like. Roberto Scano: I think that the use of <li> could be good for accessibility, due that with the correct use of CSS the <li> can be modified and adapted to the website layout. Why also, for more accessibility, not use the "title" attribute for the UL [1]? In the url proposed by Yvette, the code contained is, for eg: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.wisconsin.gov/">wisconsin.gov home</a> <li><a href="http://www.wisconsin.gov/state/core/agency_index.html">state agencies</a> <li><a href="http://forward.state.wi.us:9000/cpp/">subject directory</a> </ul> if we change it with this: <ul title="Group of links about ...."> <li><a href="http://www.wisconsin.gov/">wisconsin.gov home</a> <li><a href="http://www.wisconsin.gov/state/core/agency_index.html">state agencies</a> <li><a href="http://forward.state.wi.us:9000/cpp/">subject directory</a> </ul> the assistive tecnology could read the title and (i think this is not implemented but could be done) skip all the <li> if the title of <ul> is not of interest of the user. What the group think about this?
