Re: [WSG] avoid "Skip" link in search results?

2005-02-01 Thread Chris Stratford
I dont bother with them either Kornel.
I know they seem to be the best option for screenreaders.
although I have found it is and would be best to simply keep your 
navigation short and quick.
That of course depends on the type of website.
But is it really necessary to have a million links in the header.

Also last time this was brought up, someone mentioned putting the 
navigation LAST>
and Absolute positioning it to the top...?
I dont remember who said that.

The problem you are mentioning shoudlnt be a problem with any of the 
more advanced search engines, because they show the snippet that matches 
the search result...
So unless they searched for Skip To Content.
They wont see that little snippet.

Cheers

I thought about replacing it with ">>>" or something that won't contain
keywords and won't go in the way in search results, but that probably 
is a  killer for screen readers.

Do you know a good way to place this link?

I put the skip link after the tagline if needed.
 Company Name - Tagline
 Skip to content.
