  <h1>Radial (Sub-)Menu Experiment</h1>
  <p>
    New, Improved and Chocolatey!
  </p>
  <p>
    I have taken my first two radial menu samples (<a href="https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/vFKuq">the first cut</a> and the <a href="https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/HjwLr">second cut with a sub-menu</a>) and re-written them from scratch. Mostly to play around, partly to compare code from two-and-a-half years ago and see how my approach has changed. I also wrote a <a href="http://blog.adrianroselli.com/2012/08/css-only-radial-menu-experiments.html">blog post</a> some time ago (August 2012) outlining what I built before.
  </p>
  <p>
    All sizing is based on ems, so if you kick up the default font size (on the <code>body</code>) you'll see the menu, text, borders, etc. scale.
  </p>
  <p>
    I use <code>aria-label</code> to identify which item is the current page/section, using a CSS attribute selector to style accordingly (<em>Books</em> &gt; <em>The Third Book</em>). I use jQuery to walk up the DOM to find the parent anchor, which assumes I would be stuck on a CMS that won't allow this to be done server-side (which would be lame). I'm still not sold on using an <code>h1</code> in the <code>nav</code>, but at least I use <code>aria-labelledby</code> to essentially make it a label for the entire thing. 
  </p>
  <p>
    I have added keyboard support with some jQuery, though I'd like to re-write to vanilla JS so there are no external dependencies. Without scripting it doesn't work as I rely on hover/focus states on the <code>li</code> elements. I also need to test it more on touch displays.
  </p>
  <p>
    This is nowhere near ready for production. I have a media query that kills this above a certain width (set high for now) as I expect to have more traditional styles for desktop. Have added em-based height &amp; media queries to convert to block nav for smaller screens where menu options won't fit. Added styles for Windows High Contrast Mode.
  </p>
  <p>
    This menu also only allows for 5 primary items, and 6 secondary items per primary item, except for the first (4 items max) and the last (3 items max). I adjust the positioning on the first &amp; last sub-menus to account for the screen edge. As such, it only allows for two tiers of navigation. That's not a very extensible menu, but as I am building it for my own site, it fits my needs.
  </p>
  <p>
    Ideas for a better approach to the keyboard support scripting are appreciated. I wrote these from scratch, which guarantees they are crap.
