Hi William, Yes, I agree.
However, the main navigation elements for websites I design are almost always css based (no images). So is there a valid argument for providing a footer navigation? Or, are there problems with the duplication of links for screen readers and/or disadvantages with search engine rankings? > I think this practice is a remnant of pre-accessibility days where > navigation options that were provided as images were duplicated as plain > text links in the footer to aid people with images turned off etc. > With judicious use of alt tags I don't believe this is something that > is > still necessary. -- XERT Communications email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> office: +61 2 4782 3104 mobile: 0438 017 416 <http://www.xert.com.au/> web development : digital imaging : dvd production ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
