Hi Bryan,

How to access your website’s “Resources” menu subitem through keyboard. Tried enter key, it takes to resource page. Tried down key it is not opening sub menu. I was referrring your site for accesibility implemention in my site.
Hi Soumya, while using the Tab key to navigate through our menu, you will come across a dropdown icon right after ‘Resources’. Pressing the Enter key on the dropdown icon allows you to view the submenu.
