Re: Skipping navigation tactics

Yes. I am a visual user, but have problems from time to time withusing a
mouse. So hiding things too much is annoying. (On the other hand, things come
up in the tabbing order, so as long as there is a focus that is clearly
visible I know I have hit a link and just need to check the status bar to
find out what is going on. I guess that's less cool if you're using
magnification. Any thoughts?

  I'm starting to have second and third thoughts about it. What about folks

  Just wondering...
