This example illustrates how to use the Focus Manager Node Plugin,

Event's <a href="{{apiDocs}}/classes/YUI.html#event_delegate">delegation support</a> and

<a href="{{apiDocs}}/classes/YUI.html#event_mouseenter">mouseenter</a> event, along with

the <a href="../overlay/index.html">Overlay widget</a> and Node's support for the

<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/">WAI-ARIA Roles and States</a> to

create an accessible menu button.

<div class="example">

<style scoped>

/* The following two styles are necessary to override style rules in the

YUI CSS file. */

.example ul {

margin: 0;

}

.example a:hover {

text-decoration: none;

}

/* Hide the button and list while it is being transformed into a menu button. */

<h2>Setting Up the HTML</h2>

<p>

For a menu button, start with an `<a>` element whose

`href` attribute is set to the id of an `<div>`

that wraps a list of `<input>` elements.

Therefore, without JavaScript and CSS, the menu button is simply an in-page

link to a set of additional buttons.

</p>

```

<div class="yui3-menubutton-loading">

<a id="button-1" href="#menu-1"><span><span>Move To</span></span></a>

<div id="menu-1">

<ul>

<li><input type="button" name="button-1" value="Inbox"></li>

<li><input type="button" name="button-2" value="Archive"></li>

<li><input type="button" name="button-3" value="Trash"></li>

</ul>

</div>

</div>

```

<h2>Progressive Enhancement</h2>

<p>

To account for the scenario where the user has CSS enabled in their browser but JavaScript

is disabled, the CSS used to style the menu button will be loaded via JavaScript

using the YUI instance's <a href="../yui/index.html#loader">built-in Loader</a>.

</p>

```

YUI({

modules: {

"menubuttoncss": {

type: "css",

fullpath: "{{componentAssets}}/menubutton.css"

},

"menubuttonjs": {

type: "js",

fullpath: "{{componentAssets}}/menubutton.js",

requires: ["menubuttoncss", "node-focusmanager", "node-event-simulate", "overlay"]

}

}

}).use("menubuttonjs");

```

<p>

To prevent the user from seeing a flash unstyled content when JavaScript is enabled,

a style rule is created using YUI's `yui3-js-enabled` class name that will temporarily

hide the markup while the JavaScript and CSS are in the process of loading. For more on using the

`yui3-js-enabled` class name, see the

<a href="../widget/index.html#progressive">Hiding Progressively Enhanced Markup</a> section of the

<a href="../widget/index.html">YUI Widget landing page</a>.

</p>

```

/* Hide the button and list while it is being transformed into a menu button. */

.yui3-js-enabled .yui3-menubutton-loading #menu-1,

.yui3-js-enabled .yui3-menubutton-loading #button-1 {

display: none;

}

```

<h2>ARIA Support</h2>

<p>

Through the use of CSS and JavaScript the HTML for the menu button can be

transformed into something that looks and behaves like a desktop menu button,

but users of screen readers won't perceive it as an atomic widget, but rather

simply as a set of HTML elements. However, through the application

of the

<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/">WAI-ARIA Roles and States</a>, it is

possible to improve the semantics of the markup such that users of screen

readers perceive it as a menu button control.

</p>

<h2>Keyboard Functionality</h2>

<p>

The keyboard functionality for the button's menu will be provided by the Focus

Manager Node Plugin. The Focus Manager's

<a href="{{apiDocs}}/classes/plugin.NodeFocusManager.html#attr_descendants">`descendants`</a>

attribute is set to a value of "input", so that only one menuitem in the

button's menu is in the browser's default tab flow. This allows users

navigating via the keyboard to use the tab key to quickly move into and out of

the menu. Once the menu has focus, the user can move focus among each menuitem

using the up and down arrows keys, as defined by the value of the

<a href="{{apiDocs}}/classes/plugin.NodeFocusManager.html#attr_keys">`keys`</a>

attribute. The

<a href="{{apiDocs}}/classes/plugin.NodeFocusManager.html#attr_focusClass">`focusClass`</a>

attribute is used to apply a class of `yui-menuitem-active` to

the parent `<li>` of each

`<input>` when it is focused, making it easy to style the

menuitem's focused state in all browsers.
