avoiding tabbing through drop downs

At the workshop in Logan a few weeks back (it was really good, by the way) we discussed ways around tabbing through the multiple links presented by drop-down menus. We discussed the code for separating keyboard from mouse actions, but I mislaid it. The idea is to tab to the top visible link and then go to a page that has the same options as the drop down, but when the mouse is over top link, the menu drops. Any suggestions and any examples out there to view? Jared – Thanks for a great workshop!

Thanks,
James
