If the links are within a nested list, I don't think it's such a hardship, screen readers (and visually without CSS) you can skip the sub-lists that don't interest you. I'm not a fan of drop-down menus for general usability reasons, but a standard (suckerfish style) drop down list is technically accessible in web terms, but tricky motor-skill wise. The brothercake one is keyboard accessible, and even puts in a slight delay like an OS drop-down (which Terrence mentioned), I'm not sure you can fault it on accessibility grounds. It's just something of a usability/IA issue when there are too many items, which is an issue for everyone. Kind regards, -Alastair
