good examples of javascript "roll over" menus with an accessible alternative

Hello:

I'm working with a client who has committed to designing with CSS. This
has been a real struggle for them, so I'm trying to speed them along with
some examples that won't require them to sacrifice "look and feel," at
least as much as possible.

They want to have those javascript menus that show choices when the user
rolls over the main choice with a mouse.

Does anyone have good visually appealing examples that render in an
alternative fashion when javascript is turned off, when the keyboard is
used, and/or when a screen reader is used?

I was looking at what Google offers when searching on keywords such as
"accessible javascript menus," but the resulting articles didn't seem to be
terribly current.

Thanks for any links to sites or articles.Apologies, in advance, for
potential cross-posting

Best,
Jennifer
