I've not seen a problem with links in headers. A screen reader should not hide any links in any case but I'm still not sanguin about putting links in as headers for reasons of semantics. It is rather nice though that when they are coded as links that the headers are tabbable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geek Chic" <geekchic@geekchic.com> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 6:22 PM Subject: Using anchor tags with header tags Does anyone know if there are problems in screen readers when handling clickable headers? I have been told that some screen readers hide the link from the user, because the header tag "overrides" it. Is this true? I have seen some Web sites use <a><strong>text</strong></a> instead of <h2><a href="www.hp.com">text</a></h2> for text that appears to function as a header on the page. Is that better? Thanks, Melinda
