G'day all,
I've had some internal debate about this topic, so I thought I'd put
it to the list:
Imagine a large (300 dynamic pages+) site with a real client focus on
speed. An average user is expected to visit around 5% of the site per
visit (~15 pages), and the user is expected to visit

Seems like you answered your own question there.
The only added benefit of putting the script in the header of every
page, is that for the first time the script is downloaded, every
subsequent page load will not require the same download again, even
your Javascript reliant page.

Hi Kit,
Don't know if this will help, but Simon Willison created an
addLoadEvent(func) to get multiple scripts loading correctly on a page.
Please see his blog:

Hi Frank,
addLoadEvent is one of my essential includes on every project! I've
made my own minor modifications, but it's a great piece of code.
Cheers,

Hi Karl,
For the site in question, I ended up deciding to load the JS
(minified, of course) on just the page it is required on, but I was
never really happy with the performance (since a page that was
designed to be flashy and impressive ends up being delayed by the
download of

I hope this isn't an infringement of the mailing list. Apologies if I
got it wrong. Sorry for the short notice but there has been a bit of
an internal debate on the merits of letting you all know about this.

Hi there;
I'm currently laying down the markup for a site and have been pondering
whether to put page content above navigation in the source. I often read
that this is a good idea, and that makes perfect sense to me as long as
there are skip links so that people can reach the navigation easily,

The only research on this was on a tiny number of screen reader users (18 as
I recall) and they had a very slight bias towards haing the navigation
first. However, there were differences between people of differing ability.
Experienced users tended to just deal with whatever was thrown at them,

Content first? Or navigation first?
You're probably referring to this:
It is our view, that a continuation of the practice of placing navigation
before the content of the page will benefit some screen reader users, in
particular those users who are
Another thought. Are you planning to position the navigation at the top of
the page even though it is at the end of the source? If so, I would say
unequivocally that is the wrong thing to do.
This will adversely affect anyone who uses keyboard navigation, because the
tab sequence will not be

And if you have content first, would you have a skip to navigation
link before it? :)

Which is to say, some testing with a very specific design was used
(with very little content or navigation), and that's all we have to go
on so far.
An endless debate. And this is before opening up the other aspect of the
debate... How source order affects Google rank :)
also .. what about users of small-screen devices like mobile phones where
lots of scrolling quickly becomes a pain?
then to make matter worse there is the issue of
Put the 'main' 4-5 menu links up the top and then content with the extra

I'm just thinking that you're already using Microsoft products that this may be
something you could use.
I know of people who use Visio a lot for wireframes and mock-ups. I suppose it
depends on what details your lecturer is wanting in your story board's.

Hi Marvin,
In April of this year I came across an add-in template for Microsoft Visio,
enabling a user to produce wire-frames and more within the Visio work
environment. Here is the address to the web page and small downloadable

Hi Marvin
You could try Axure (www.axure.com). I'm not too sure how accessible it is,
but there is a trial version available and it has lots of drag drop
functionality which could be helpful if it works with any accessibility
tools you are using.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
