I can't really get my mind around what they're for except to screw up a layout really :) I mean I know what they're for, I mean they're really handy, I mean they suck. Hold on, I'm confused, perhaps some more rapid off the cuff questions and you can say what you will about any bit of it ... 1. What are they for? 2. Do you like/use/wish every site had them? 3. If I use it as the first item on the page, and I hide it from the screen using display:none does a screen reader get this? or should I hide it using a negative margin or somesuch to get it out of site but still around for readers? 4. If I hide it, how can people browsing through the screen media use it if it's not visible [url=http://disk919.com/][img]http://www.disk919.com/sig/jason.gif[/img][/url][url=http://serveit.org/][img]http://www.disk919.com/sig/serveit.org.gif[/img][/url] Loading...
