tab access to submenus?

heya,

i'd like to know whether it's possible to change the menu's script so that an active main links (the "top categories", so to speak--accessed by hitting TAB) automatically open the submenus without any further clicking? that would be cool for handicapped people who have problems using a mouse. once activated, it would be cool to jump from link to link via TAB again.. once RETURN has been punched, the submenus should collapse like the do anyway..

i succeeded at adjusting the sample menu to fit our category + sublink needs, but i'm not that adept at javascript to do the above-mentioned job..

help.

regards,

- Thorsten

Take a look here. It's only beta code and the full working tab based menu will work better with version 4.0

man, that looks very promising :) can't wait to see the actual implementation..

btw, your menu is really cool.

another ques i have is: are you sure that the PlaceMenu() function works? i tried to implement it in exactly the way you mentioned in the faq, but it does not work here.. any ideas?

regards,

PlaceMenu() isn'y the best of functions it's really a workaround and isn't 100% cross browser compatible.

Version 4.0 of the menu should allow you to embed your menu inside a table cell, more on this to follow
