Peeps,
I thought I knew what I was doing with headers, now I'm getting confused.
My XHTML docs are structured like this:
<title>Page name - Site name</title>
<h1>Site name</h1> [not visible & 2nd part of the <title> -
Placed behind an image of the same]
<h1>Content (Page name) heading</h1> [visible & 1st part of the <title>]
[optional text]
<h2></h2> [all sub headings in the correct order]
<h1>Navigation</h1> [not visible]
[list of links]
<h2>External links</h2> [not visible]
<h3>link heading</h3>
[text & link]
<h3>link heading</h3>
[text & link]
<h3>footer links</h3> [not visible]
[list of links]
Note: [not visible] means you cannot see it but neither "visibility:hidden" nor
"display:none" are used.
I liked the idea that <h1> marked the top of page, content, and nav.
It made sense when viewed and navigated at 500% font-size.
It also made sense with screen readers jumping from heading to heading.
Is this approach considered incorrect?
Should there be only one <h1>?
Is starting the navigation at a <h1> considered poor structure?
Should I rethink the heading structure from a multiple page, or site, view?
Please clarify
cheers
