I also have a question pertaining to online forms. I've been searching
through information for coding examples on how to best implement accessible
drop down menus. I looked in the W3C archives and also came across the
following site: http://jibbering.com/accessibility/menue.html. Any other
ideas or coding examples?

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
