Hi Shawn & Shadi,

Pleased to see this go out, but a final look around this morning (via the keyboard) showed that the contrast on the "jump to beginning of accessible demo page" is very poor - black on red. It is also partially obscuring the page title. Some other uses of focus highlight are also poor contrast (e.g. page menu). See images included (stripped from list I suspect).

Can I suggest, in keeping with the colours already used, that the background for the "jump" link on the inaccessible page becomes pale-red and on the accessible page becomes pale-green? And maybe a similar scheme throughout? Also, for consideration, the common verb in these situations is 'skip' rather than 'jump', including on the WAI pages.

Cheers, Andrew
