I am not really in favour of hiding the link, have a look at this page. http://www.to-2008.com/english/accessibility.asp I can't find the skip links in the html, it may be there but that's one of the problems, it becomes harder to test. I like what they do on the HTML Writers Guild site, putting the skip links on the top right rather than the top left, it's easier to ignore then for people who don't want/need to use it.

I guess that's less cool if you're usingmagnification. Any thoughts?chaalsOn Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Davey Leslie wrote:I wonder if hiding the "skip links" from graphic browsers--which I've doneon a couple of sites with the invisible gif trick--is really a good idea.I'm starting to have second and third thoughts about it.
