Ok, I'm using Jquery to build a dynamic menu, and sIFR to change the text to TrajanPro font. This does not mix. I want to find a way to make it mix, though. sIFR has automatic parsing of links, so that Flash sends you to the link location. What it doesn't do is pass on javascript triggers. I'm trying to make my menu as accessible as po...
