Accessible Dropdown Menu

An accessible dropdown menu lets people discover and select navigation or action options using more than a mouse. It should work with keyboard controls, show a visible focus indicator, and expose an understandable name and state to assistive technology. A service website may use a menu to organize cleaning, lawn care, and handyman offerings without crowding the header. A menu that opens only on hover can be difficult for keyboard or touch users. Appropriate behavior depends on whether the interface is a website navigation disclosure or an application-style menu. Testing with keyboards and assistive technology is more reliable than assuming a visual menu is accessible.
