[technical note for Thursday's session] In the issues list, a link bypassing front-end administrivia is discussed as using a LINK element. I believe this is a bad idea. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wai-gl-tech-issues.html#group-bypass The current example in the Techniques document Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT-TECHS/#group-bypass uses an anchor <A> element. For best results, I believe we should stick with the A element. It enjoys wider support in browsers. I am sending this detail separately because, unlike the main question, I think it can be dealt with by itself. Hope this part won't be controversial. This makes this technique something which has no "legacy browser" issues, as ALT and A have been in the standard markup vocabulary for a long time and are generally implemented. LINK has been there just as long but has largely been ignored, so far as I understand. AlReceived on Tuesday, 24 August 1999 09:07:55 GMT
