@ Rahul:
The preference thing is very strange. I read another small study where
the findings indicated that the 2nd biggest problem for screen reader
users was to find that the nav wasn't the first thing available. I'll
try to find the article.
My conjecture prior to this would be that, unless you are on a homepage
with contents significantly greater than a simple blurb and a few 'quick
links', you would not want to be informed of where you can go from
somewhere immediately after arriving - and besides if the page did turn
out to be not exactly what you wanted, you would start tabbing then
rather than having to tab to avoid listing all your options over again.
Another finding of the study was that site map presentation and
immediate availability were key factors in getting the sus of a site
without visual recognition.
By the way, could anyone elaborate on what tab-indexing is? And how does
the Alt+# system work? These seem to be crucial elements of screen
reader browsing but I have a very limited grasp of their convention and
application.
Regards,
Barney
