Terill Thompson's blog + site has great resources defining required features of an accessible dropdown and providing links to code sample:

My favorite of the examples, as far as providing the best combination of user experience for screen reader, keyboard, zoom, and general expected usability, is

There is also a jQuery implementation available in the coding package at
https://github.com/accdc/tsg
Which supports submenus, horizontal and vertical keyboard interaction
models, and has been tested using JAWS 12 through 14 in IE and FF, using
NVDA in IE and FF, and using Voiceover on the iPhone/iPad.

Thank you, I've been playing with this and though understand the mechanics of it, I cannot get the menus into any kind of 'box' as the example shows (I just have a bunch of non-separated text with drop downs, though the hover colours seem to work)

Am I just missing a piece of this? I copies the source code, referenced the javascript, moved the .css into my own .css

?

Thanks
