All the following in firefox v1.0.4

Works good, untill you get to "section 4" and use "Shift Tab" to reverse
up the menu takes four tabs to get back to section 3, with no visible
submenu until you get to section 3 another 5 tabs to get back
to the section 2 sub menu which overlaps the main menu, another 2 tabs
gets section 2 with two sub menus one overlaping the main menu and one in
the correct position. another tab gets you back to section 1.

Not what I would call accessible.
