Ramón, I would instruct the developer to add an OnFocus event to position the previously "hidden off left" link to be visible when the link is tabbed to. Positioning the link off left does not remove it from the tab order, just for the visual clutter. Seems to meet everyone requirements - no visual clutter, in the tab order, works with CSS off, and works better with CSS and JavaScript turned on. This should be made clearer in the best practice technique.

Focus Order Hi, all. I'm reading the Understanding SC 2.4.7 about Focus Order, and I'm in doubt about what is the meaning of "having a mode of operation that...". For instance, if I have a hidden "skip to contents" link (via css off-left), when a user tabs to this link the focus will not be visible; but if the user disables CSS, in this "mode" the link will be visible and also the focus. My question is: would this be considered valid? Should we show all the links to comply with this criterion? Are css-hidden links forbidden? Thanks in advance, Ramón.
