I understand that accessibility may be a problem if the site uses JavaScrip to deliver these links and/or if the drop down box is not properly marked up with name/title tags etc. What are your thoughts? Are there any other problems from a user perspective that I should know about - ie is this method likely to be confusing? I have been surfing the net and came across an interesting site using this feature. If you want to have a look the address is: http://www.betterhealthchannel.vic.gov.au/ (you will need to follow the welcome link on the home page to view the drop down box with a list of links to other key pages - found in the bottom left hand corner of the screen). I am also interested to know if you have any comments about online forms. The forms I have designed to date use tables for layout and a submit button - I have included field names and a tab index to make it easier to navigate - is this sufficient? A sample form can be found at: http://www.e-bility.com/survey_online.htm All feedback welcome - e-bility's home page can be found at http://e-bility.com Many thanks.
