1. Yes, look at accesskey but don't worry about tabindex unless you use some weird and complex positioning stuff. 2. Yes, you should group blocks of navigation links. Until browsers figure out how to do this better (IE is the standout on the very useful link element, and skipping navigation links without a nice structure and a "skip to main content" link are still not mainstream unfortunately). 3. Yes, let people know. Add "pop-up", or "new window" or something to the link text is my preference, but there is an argument to be made that putting this in the title is "informing the user". cheers Chaals (who hasn't had time to do a review yet :( On Thursday, Aug 28, 2003, at 03:19 Australia/Sydney, B.K.
