Can anyone point me to the best way of providing a 'skip nav' procedure which
is invisible to sighted readers but is picked up by screen readers? It seems a
can of worms - I've searched and read about it, but (of course) it is
impossible to find out which way is recommended by real world web
Might I suggest article from Webaim.org

Don't forget about the mobility impaired user as well.

I always point people to http://blackwidows.co.uk/. The links are accessible
to screen readers and are displayed when they have focus so they are
accessible to sighted users who use keyboard navigation.

Actually is not enough. Accesskey is a good way about the accessibility,
but it's not completed.
I didn't check the latest WCAG and the latest version of screen readers but:
* Keyboards shortcuts depend from the UA (the specifications didn't
define it)
* Users may define preferences keys

Hi everyone,
I work in a small web shop in Canada. We have recently been discussing HTML
formatted emails, and accessibility standards or best practices.
We have been struggling a little bit, as we often work with WCAG 1 and 2 as
baseline standards for web page accessibility. However, WCAG

One way to do it is make a transparent gif of 1px x 1px. Then
embed that in your link with no text. Have an ALT or a TITLE with
'skip navigation'
a href=#top img title=Skip navigation alt=Skip navigation
src=/screens/dot/gif //a

Understood. I was addressing the common misconception that skip links are
only for screen reader users. Bob may have had a reason for phrasing the
question the way he did, but it probably should have been phrased
differently.

I've been always under the impression that sighted users surfing with a
keyboard, have it easier to realize if there's a Skip Navigation link (since
nothing gets on focus) and it's easier for them to navigate with tab key, so
it's not such a burden.
