Re: resolving conflict between JAWS and key-press events for navigating large drop-down menus

Hi Michael:
Have you looked at the keyboard interaction for menus found in
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#menu
I noticed that using the left arrow when within a submenu does not
close the submenu, but moves up to the previous menu item instead. The
escape key and the left arrow should close the submenu placing focus on
the parent. I noticed that pressing escape closed the menu completely
regardless of the menu item with focus.

Thanks all for the helpful feedback. Would you be willing to take a
look
at the menu with the changes? http://designbymichael.com/test/menu/
