[disclaimer: IANA usability expert] I've tried a couple of different ways to avoid this. My homepage -- http://bildo.net/ -- just sticks the nav menu on the right-hand side, so in a text browser like lynx it doesn't appear until the bottom of the page. Another (ugly) page I put together -- http://www.tunl.duke.edu/~hires/ -- has the menu on the left, but at the beginning of the menu employs a 1x1-pixel image borderless link with alt text that takes you to the main content on the page. -- Bill Beal [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bildo.net/
