Hello,
In the User Agent Working Group, we're talking what user agents can
do to help users navigate, including making navigation mechanisms
readily available. I am charged with an action to propose a technique
for the Web Content Techniques: use MAP to create navigation bars/group
related links.
In the 5 May Techniques document, section 4.6.1 ("Grouping and
bypassing links") [1], an example shows <P class="nav">. Should
use the following markup instead?
<MAP name="map1">
<P>Navigate the site:
<A href=".." shape="rect" coords="..">Access Guide</a> |
<A href=".." shape="rect" coords="..">Go</A> |
<A href=".." shape="circle" coords="..">Search</A> |
<A href=".." shape="poly" coords="..">Top Ten</A>
</MAP>
User agents may assume that the MAP element is used to create
navigation mechanisms (whether image maps or more accessible
ones with rich content).
