But, it's very cooooool. P.S. I made same method for Japanese characters (UTF-8) and it correctly works. Currently, I have not yet enough idea for using this method for usable applications.

But then again I understand how sites are structured, so I can click in the general area, and use tab. But then again I also can use Firefox's live find and navigate that way.

But I think everyone is missing the point: It's freakin' brilliant! I mean, seriously, it's such an elegant solution to a difficult, if purely academic, problem. So lay off, homies, this guy earned his street cred. Look, everyone is right that this is useless and frankly pretty irritating. But I think everyone is missing the point: It’s freakin’ brilliant!

I stumble daily on things, crappy IE6 doesn't. I have to develop for IE5+ so I can sing a sad song... Let's hope IE7 will penetrate the browsing world fast and free uns developers of writing code for anything older. Cool thing!

If the user has problems with text being to small, he can simply press ctrl + to magnify the text. Hopefully the website is developed so the website looks good with bigger fonts...

Also I thought instead of changing the font-size you could go for changing the colour or another attribute such as background-image. Just a pity you can't go "li:hover - li - li {" for preceding elements. Well, usable or not that is a handy bit of CSS, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

If it could, nav menus would be easy: <code> <strong>HTML:</strong> <ul class="nav">  <li>   <a href="#">Link 1</a>   <ul>    <li>Text 1.1</li>    <li>Text 1.2</li>   </ul>  </li> </ul> <strong>CSS:</strong> ul.nav > li > a + ul{display:none} ul.nav > li > a:hover + ul{display:block} </code> IE/Win does not support the “+” CSS Selector (nor the hover-state of LI elements). If it could, nav menus would be easy:

HTML:
<ul class="nav">
 <li>
  <a href="#">Link 1</a>
  <ul>
   <li>Text 1.1</li>
   <li>Text 1.2</li>
  </ul>
 </li>
</ul>

CSS:
ul.nav > li > a + ul{display:none}
ul.nav > li > a:hover + ul{display:block}

Boo for annoying web tricks... That strikes me as an example of taking technologies used in making things accessible and using them to make navigation more difficult. Try to imagine having a mobility-restrictive disability and having your links resize and move around. Or ADD and having your navigation distract you from the reason you wanted to use a link. Yay for creative selector usage!
