Re: [WSG] Skip nav links, tab through
Thanks for your replies Steve and Phillipe, sorry to take so long to get back. My Safari works well now, so that's good news. I can't figure out how to set this up in Firefox, any ideas?

RE: [WSG] Skip nav links, tab through
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to tab through the links in Firefox. Links are not on the tab sequence in Safari by default, but you can turn that on in the Preferences. I have no idea if users actually do in practice.

Re: [WSG] Skip nav links, tab through
I do think that the latest version of Firefox (v 2.0.0.9) may have a problem with tabbing as I've not been able to tab through stuff either since upgrading... this might be a bug; it may just be me being stupid but it's certainly a bit of a pain in the arse! - Original Message From: Steve Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Thursday, 15 November, 2007 3:13:09 PM Subject: RE: [WSG] Skip nav links, tab through There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to tab through the links in Firefox.

Re: [WSG] Skip nav links, tab through
Thanks for your help everyone. For some reason my version of Firefox
and Safari are both not tabbing through links. They just keep tabbing
around the form fields on the actual browser.
Anyway, I will check it on another machine. Thanks Thierry and Jamie,
I have added the :focus element now, so should be all good once I can
test on another machine.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Paul,
I've actually seen this before, and this approach is pretty much ideal, the
only tweak you have to make is as well as having a:active you also need
a:focus and this will fix your issue.
ul.skipNav li a:focus, ul.skipNav li a:active { /* your active styles*/}
Hope this helps
Cheers
Jamie.

Change this:
#skip a:active
{
position:static;
width:auto;
height:auto;
}
To this:
#skip a:active,
#skip a:focus
{
position:static;
width:auto;
height:auto;
}
But IMO (FWIW) these links should not be hidden.
