Re: ADA complance for Javascript hover menus

At the website where I used to work, we made sure to have text menus (at
bottom of pages, etc.), and whenever we did anything dynamic with menus we
made sure to have the option to click to a static menu with a "go" button.

I haven't worked with Javascript in a long time, but I gather accessibility
has come a long way. Is this article of use? It pertains specifically to
Javascript popups, but accessibility-friendly ones.

This article
http://www.wac.ohio-state.edu/webaim/kbrdaxs.htm
is sparse but possibly helpful. This one
http://accessat.c-net.us/articles/menu.html
looks better. I haven't tested either of them.

Good luck, and please let us know what ends up working for you,
Shifra
