Hi Drew I'm assuming the microformat scrapers look at the code and not the visual design. I've been adding extra information in sections that use display:none for microformat purposes and adding the appropriate classes to the content that is already in the visual design. On this level, the a include shouldn't be a problem if it is using display:none. The screenreader will ignore the link.
However, you are correct in that a screenreader will announce that a link is present. I'll check on our end as well. Thanks Ted Drake Yahoo! Tech - Tech Made Easy Member of the Yahoo!

There are a couple of preliminary implementations around, but I'd be surprised to find it in Tails at this point. There were some concerns raised about the screen-reader friendliness of using an empty link element with an href. My attempts to investigate this have fallen flat a little, as my guy with the screen- readers is short on bandwidth. If anyone has access to screen- readers, we're interested in how the various links on the below pages behave: http://allinthehead.com/demo/include.html http://allinthehead.com/demo/include-verbose.html drew. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
