Re: Skip to content link

Strange. When I try to apply for a licence here

https://apply-provisional-driving-licence.service.gov.uk/first_application/before_you_start?locale=en

and start using the Ski to main, on subsequent pages (with NVDA) it reads from the TITLE tag down, skipping nothing.

BTW, checked, this page at least is not a SPA (single page application) and each page is a new URL and an actual page load.

Maybe the page you're on is built differently? Would be good to see the page.

Regards,

Alan

Just from what you're describing (which of course makes diagnosing
things rather difficult), it *sounds* like what you're experiencing in
that journey/process isn't actually a real page load/reload, but that
you're technically within the same page and it's just updating the step
of the journey you're in?

Also, is the content that you're saying is skipped always the same?
