"There really is so much work and code to put into making a accessible hover
navigation menu that works with arrow keys."
True, which is why I created all of the complex control templates at
WhatSock.com, including the ARIA Menu module at
http://whatsock.com/modules/aria_tabs_menu_modules/demo.htm
For example, the ARIA Menu simply references standard list markup at
http://whatsock.com/modules/aria_tabs_menu_modules/files/menus.htm
So as you can see from the markup, there is no ARIA and no scripting. All of
this is configured automatically by AccDC to make widgets fully scalable in
any environment.
