tab access to submenus?

Please note that official support for this menu version has now ceased. There are still plenty of users, though, and the forum is still running. Some of our long-time users may be able to help you out.

tab access to submenus?

Post by Stellaris »

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
