Tim,
I have seen menus where there is dual functionality. Mouseover uses DHTML to show a little box with several link selections, but if you tab to the same place (link) and select it (hit Enter) you get an intermediate page with the same several link selections. This way you have the fancy stuff with alternate accessible navigation.

Hi,

There is a type of web-based menu that people call by different names. I have heard them referred to as drop down menus, mouseover menus, pop-up menus, etc. Whenever the user pauses the mouse over a hot spot on the page, the menu appears giving the user a list of links from which to choose.
