PW WebSpeak 1.4.3 will read through to the bottom of the page regardless of the length on a graphical browser. I am interested to hear the opinions of others about the placement of navigation bars at the top or the bottom. -Jamie Fox ---------- From: Paul Adelson[SMTP:paul.adelson@citicorp.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 1998 4:02 PM To: 'Web Accessibility Initiative' Subject: Placing generic navigation links Is there any consensus on the following, or has anyone had experience or done usability studies to determine which is better for accessible web design: For a site that has a standard set of links on every page (e.g. Home | Products | Employment | Contacts), is it better for accessibility to have those linkes at the top of every page or at the bottom? Does the answer change if seeing/hearing the bottom of the page will occasionally require scrolling the page? In other words, the user may get used to browsing the site without needing to scroll and then unknowingly come to a page where either the standard links or the non-standard links are not visible/screen-readable without scrolling. Thanks, -- Paul
