You can have a website with DHTML dropdown menus that is accessible. Some things you need to keep in mind are. The menu's (not the dropdowns) themselves cannot be generated by javascript. And if javascript is turned off, you should be able to click on the menu item and allow you to go to webpage that has the options listed on the dropdown. When I was doing a bit of research on this I found out that most DHTML menus I ran into generated the entire menu system and they were useless if javascript was turned off. Two dropdown menu scripts that can be used in an accessible website are: the one generated by Macromedia Fireworks and the one created by Opencube.com Juan -----Original Message----- From: Emily Hallett To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Sent: 1/14/2004 7:36 AM Subject: DHTML drop down menus ADA compliant Are DHTML drop down menus ADA compliant?
