Many thanks for the feedback! The Site Navigation links were moved to the bottom on purpose, but I agree this may create a bit of confusion. We're so much used to having links at the top (be it top-top, top-left or top-right) than not finding them there looks a bit weird at first. After some time, I got used to it, and now tend to like this approach. This makes it possible to focus on the "real" content of the page. The compromise we implemented is to have a link at the top of the page to the "Site Navigation" menu that is at the bottom of the page on small screen devices. The corresponding best practice we're trying to address with this choice is: [NAVBAR] Provide only minimal navigation at the top of the page. http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#NAVBAR Francois. > > > > Tom Worthington FACS HLM tom.worthington@tomw.net.au Ph: 0419 496150 > Director, Tomw Communications Pty Ltd ABN: 17 088 714 309 > PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617 http://www.tomw.net.au/ > Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Australian National University >
