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

I always point people to http://blackwidows.co.uk/. The links are accessible

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

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 standa

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'

only for screen reader users. Bob may have had a reason for phrasing the

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
