I'm trying to implement a jQuery dropdown menu and am trying to add JS using the jquery API to make it accessible to keyboard users (and hopefully screenreaders). Does anyone know of a jquery dropmenu that is accessible so I don't have to keep banging my head on my desk? Thanks!

I can't get to the drop downs in this version without a mouse,
with or without JavaScript, unless I toggle off CSS. Some drop
downs are keyboard accessible, but this one isn't.
