            Description

            For Section 508 compliance, the menuBar component should support a mechanism to display child menus using the keyboard alone.

            All onmouseover event handlers in the menu could also use the onfocus event handler. If possible we should wire the MenuBar to use onfocus handler as well as the onmouseover handler.

            If the user tabs through the page and focusses on a top-level menu-item, it should display it's child menu then (if it's not already displayed). The same applies for any other child menus, onfocus on the menuitem should display an associated child menu if it isn't already displayed.

            You should look at this in conjunction with ICE-1232 as they are likely to inter-relate.
