Hello Pierre, I'm certainly a fan of that technique. I've used it on a few sites. More often than not, though, I simply provide a marker as a visual indicator when styles aren't supported. Such can be seen on the last site I did [1] where I mark the non-anchor with ←
[1] http://myrnamunroe.org/ I've done that with anchors though as well such as on few sites I've done [2, 3]. [2] http://thompsoncenterassoc.org/ [3] http://graybit.com/ Then I've done another technique with anchors using an image and then one layer down some alt text [4]. This probably isn't a great method, but it is a rather old site... (was my first go at an elastic design). [4] http://gbhxonline.com/ Something similar I also did at Accessites with the style changer links (though I should have done the latter with script instead of how I chose to do it). [5] http://accessites.org/settings/#thechanger I do like the idea of using actual text because it not only provides a marker, but it does so with something that has more meaning than an arrow thus better serving a larger cross-section of users. Thus I like your idea best, or with Russ's abbreviated suggestion -- either way. Good job!

I haven't seen it used before but there is rarely anything new under the sun ;) I agree about the removal of the href for the current page. Simpler wording like "Current page: " may be better, but that is nitpicking. <li><strong><a id="birds01"><span class="offleft">Current page: </span> Australian Pelican </a></strong></li> Like anything, always worth testing with real users to see if it is beneficial/confusing etc. Thanks Russ on 28/10/06 8:48 AM, Pierre-Henri Lavigne at wrote: > Howdy WSG, > > After reading Mr Weakley > http://www.usability.com.au/resources/ozewai2005/, I > was wondering for one of my work if this could be a true way to dynamic > add > the following modification for example : > > Original Reference : > http://www.usability.com.au/resources/ozewai2005/sample/index.htm > > <h2 class="structurelabel"> > Site navigation > </h2> > <ul id="sitenav"> > <li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li> > <li><a href="water.htm">Water birds</a></li> > <li><a href="land.htm">Land birds</a></li> > <li><a href="urban.htm">Urban birds</a></li> > > </ul> > <h2 class="structurelabel"> > Water birds navigation > </h2> > <ol id="secondarynav"> > <li><strong><a id="birds01">Australian Pelican <span > class="offleft">Here you are</span></a></strong></li> > <li><a href="birds02.htm">Black Swan</a></li> > <li><a href="birds03.htm">Little Pied Cormorant</a></li> > <li><a href="birds04.htm">Purple Swamphen</a></li> > <li><a href="birds05.htm">Musk Duck</a></li> > </ul> > > If this is true, I suppose I'm not creating a new method.
