Hi Sarah, I duplicate my main menu in the footer for those interior pages that scroll vertically more then one-page down so the user doesn't have to scroll up to navigate. I know this is a common practice, which of course an intra-page link such as 'back to top is another viable option often

Hi, Sarah By the accessibility point of view there's no problem in duplicating links on a page if you follow this simple rule: all similar links (links with same text) *must* point to the same pages. Cheers! Angela -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL

I won't do a whole report card, but here's three things that should be changed: 1. The navigation list: * li* img src=images/bullet.gif alt=Omaha Home /* /li You are doing this to put bullets between the list items. Don't do this, here's the alternative: #menu li { padding-bottom:1em;

First thing I would say is that it's too difficult to find how to FIND a home. First you have to see the small link on the right, then the page refreshes and looks virtually the same. One would expect to see a search form immediately, but instead I had to scroll down and hunt for a text link to
