Why would you want to? If people with text readers need it why wouldn't naïve sighted users need it? =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Jamie Fox Senior QA Test Engineer (202) 513-5080 -----Original Message----- From: Zachary Mutrux [mailto:zacm@etr.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 1:59 PM To: WAI Subject: "invisible" alternate links: accessible? Ahoy the WAI IG: What do you think about making certain text the same color as the page background, if it is intended for users of text-only browsers? 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
