I'd say with JS on it does not work that well either. These sub-links are "accessible" because they appear in the document, but in a paragraph at the bottom of the content area (not in the context of a menu). SE would find these pages, but many users may miss them. I think keyboard users may easily miss this "concept" and will not recognize the links as a navigation "mechanism" (besides, they could appear below the fold). And the text of these links is not explicit as it is in sub menus that show on mouseover (the in-page links use only the words "men", "women" and "children" with no reference to "Hats" or "Outerwear"), same text links pointing to different resources. Actually, it would make more sense if the links in the content area were *more* explicit than the ones in the navigation bar, since - unlike in the nav - there is no top level item to give context. Also, screen-reader users won't treat these links the same as links in lists. Anyway, this is getting OT... -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
