Forcing an extra click rather than a mouse over (or activation by tabbing to the element) could be an issue for some disabilities, but having said that, relying on a mouse over only is a big no too, as there are plenty of people who are unable to use a mouse well, if at all; we're talking old arthritic users, or people without the use of their hands, for example. That's why, for navigation, I'd rely on the standard links to do the work, and then, as others have mentioned on this thread already, enhance that with script. Add extra menus that can be triggered to show for multiple events (hover, activation by tabbing in, etc) -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
