Hi Christie, The 'average joe/average jane' site visitor would expect the site navigation at the top (and possibly some links at the bottom), with the product navigation usually on the left. The exceptions to this usually involve multi-level, drop-down or drop-line menus which are under

Where true! As a general rule of thumb if you are looking for online tutorials and examples that are teaching good modern JavaScript go find another one if it tells you to use things like: document.write inline event handlers (like onclick) browser sniffing This is quite a simple

[WSG] Skip nav links, tab through

Hi all, I've added a hidden skip navigation link to my site, that I want to show up when you tab through each page. I'm using the method described on the webaim site: http://www.webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/#focus Problem is, I realised that you can't actually tab through the links on a page

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. Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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:

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
