Re: [WSG] Media queries and roles
Hi Tom if you use display none then AT like JAWS will ignore the element.

When doing RWD instead of mobile adaptation, that navigation goes to the bottom of the page for the consideration of Mobile version, my approach is to use absolute position to target the desktop version's navigation instead of making duplication. tee On May 24, 2012, at 1:12 PM, Tom Livingston wrote: List, Thanks tee.

[WSG] Media queries and roles
List, We have a project being worked on that is being done using RWD. For mobile, we are repeating the nav at the bottom of the page and showing/hiding - with display: block/none; - the appropriate navbar based on min-width media queries. My question is if the desktop main nav has a role of 'navigation', should the mobile nav at the bottom have that same role? Will that mess up screen readers et al? TIA -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
