If the skip link is serving a valid purpose I see no problem using it.
Keep in mind the purpose of the skip link - does the promotion contain
items that would slow keyboard navigation? if not you probably do not
need it.

a second ideas is for your second link to be "skip over promotion"
It is not clear to me why there would need to be promotional material
between the heading and the content. COuld you send a link of an
example?

Hi all,
I am to build templates for a page, and below is a pseudo example
of my code
order:
-skip to #content-
[div#navigation]
<a name="content"></a>
[h1]
[div#promotion]
[div.content]
I've always believed my h1 should always come after the 'content'
anchor (or
within a #content div), so when screen reader skips my navigation
to the
content, they're able to read the h1 as well. Ideally I'd like to
connect
the h1 and div.content together, however I'm stuck with the
div#promotion in
between as I need to adhere to the visual layout.
I was thinking of inserting another skip link to .content (and add
another
anchor name before it), so it'll read as:
-skip to #pageContent-
[div#navigation]
<a name="pageContent"></a>
[h1]
-skip promotion to #content-
[div#promotion]
<a name="content"></a>
[div.content]
My question is, is it bad to have a skip link right after you've
skipped
from the top?
(hope I've explained it well...)
Thanks,
Ben
