I thought the question concerned the use of JavaScript to display a sub-menu
when moving the mouse over a main menu item or link - whether these could be
accessible.
The tutorial (http://jimthatcher.com/webcoursea.htm#Webcourse10.d) tried to
answer that by saying that if all the links of the "sub-menu" are easily
available on the page opened by the main menu item link, then yes - the
advantage of someone using the JavaScript sub-menus is nominal.
I didn't intend to be commenting about fonts or colors or anything else,
just whether or not the drop-down menus could be accessible. I think Yes,
essentially by ignoring the sub-menus.
