Navigation links for site navigation using menu buttons #1499

I'm not really following this idea. Is this in response to a specific issue? If we were going to offer a menubutton alternative, shouldn't we simply enhance the current menu button example so that it is a "Mythical University Pages" menubutton that opens a menu with items for about, Admissions, and Academics? A group of menu buttons seems like it is just a menubar without the advantages of menubar, e.g., no type ahead. It is like the disclosure pattern without the advantages of the disclosure pattern, e.g., disclosure provides simple lists of actual links. To me, it feels like the worse features of both. Perhaps we should not offer a menu button version of the mythical university nav because if you were going to have a single point of entry for a nav system, e.g., to accommodate small screens, you would likely just go all in on disclosure because of the mobile device compatibility it would offer and the fact that keyboard interaction on small screens is uncommon. The menubar approach really is desktop centric. The disclosure approach is universal. |

I've never seen a group of ARIA menu buttons used this way. Is it the ARIA implementation that is very common or some other aspect of this example? Regardless, I thought we agreed to first align all the nav-like examples that we already have before building more. To that end, in our last discussion of this topic, I promised to write a list of incremental changes for resolving #89 for the group to review on Sep 1. I think we should discuss as a group before creating more examples related to site nav. |
