Looks like this worked itself out, but I wanted a chance to respond to the original since I was out yesterday. The issue had been addressed previously and was noted in the page. The third paragraph in the page says: "Note: The sub-menus are not available without JavaScript, but these are supplemental navigation. The TexasOnline site has redundant links available from each main section to every sub-section and is therefore completely accessible. Please do not note this as an error in your comments." http://www.cookiecrook.com/bugtests/menus/menus.htm However, due to some other feedback received offlist and on, I've decided to scrap the keyboard access to the menus... While I believe it greatly improved the experience sighted keyboard users have, it's become obvious that accessing the menus with a screen reader has become much more difficult. This is dissappointing, because after all, that was the point of rebuilding those menus. Cheers, James Craig -- http://www.cookiecrook.com/
