Joe: <quote> > Is it valid HTML to have an anchor with href which is the ID of a <div>? Of course! </quote> Well I admit I didn't know that. There! Joe <quote> > (Remember, "work" means tab to the skip, > then enter, then tab again and see if input focus is where it should be. That latter is a question of accesskeys and user-agent handling, is it not? </quote> NO, it has absolutely nothing to do with access keys. Is it a question of user agent handling? Sure. But I have been arguing for a couple of years (and I explained to you in Austin a year and a half ago) that there are critical problems with in-page links used from the keyboard in the browser that most people use. They are critical problems in the sense that in-page links often just do not work from the keyboard. Are you going to dismiss the problem because these links should work? Or maybe that they work in the browser that you use? Jim Accessibility, What Not to do: http://jimthatcher.com/whatnot.htm. Web Accessibility Tutorial: http://jimthatcher.com/webcourse1.htm.
