Couple of problems. One is that some text-only systems implement CSS, and another is that some people are quite happy using a "graphical browser" as a plain text browser. So I would avoid the practice in general.

I have done this with alternate text navigation links, which appear at the bottom of each page in a site I'm working on. My reasoning is that they pose an unnecessary visual distraction for sighted users, but their color poses no barrier to users with impaired vision. I'd be interested to hear what others think of this practice. zm -- Zachary Mutrux, IT Generalist, National Service Resource Center 800-860-2684 x.130 | http://www.etr.org/nsrc 831-461-0205 (TDD) | AOL Instant Messenger screen name: NSRC TA -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053 Postal: GPO Box 2476V, Melbourne 3001, Australia
