Thank you, I've been playing with this and though understand the mechanics of it, I cannot get the menus into any kind of 'box' as the example shows (I just have a bunch of non-separated text with drop downs, though the hover colours seem to work)

Am I just missing a piece of this? I copies the source code, referenced the javascript, moved the .css into my own .css

?

Thanks

Terill Thompson's blog + site has great resources defining required features of an accessible dropdown and providing links to code sample:

My favorite of the examples, as far as providing the best combination of user experience for screen reader, keyboard, zoom, and general expected usability, is
