Hi peops With the new method that a lot of people are using to create "accessible, semantic" dropdown menus I am wondering if its all good in accessibility terms or not. Say you have your site navigation marked up as nested unordered lists, and this is on every page of your site. A lot of people are applying CSS and a touch of javascript to this to create dropdown menus (ie with the nested list content hidden until the user interacts with the top level of the menu.) Just ignoring the dropdowns aspect of this, is there any problem where for example you might have every page in your site linked in a big nested list of for example 100 or more items ? I am thinking it might be better to cut down the number of links in the HTML as it's a lot to tab through for example. And possibly not the best with some screen readers? An example (just the HTML, no dropdowns effect applied) is at http://www.reb.net.nz/navigation/ - most sites would have more navigation items so it would be worse than here. I'm interested in whether others see this as a problem, and if so what solutions people are using. Cheers, Rebecca
