I am still having problems getting this to work.

The following links <a href="#localnav" title="go to expanded menu"
name="localnav"></a>
<a href="#skip" title="begin main content" name="skip"></a> , together with
their named anchors, aren't working as they should do. When I tab through
in IE6 I get the *second* link, then the first link in the menu panel,
never the two 'invisible' links.

See http://users.powernet.co.uk/tanquen/dummy.htm for the file and code.
Where am I going wrong?

BTW, I dont get anything apart from the menu panel links in Firefox.
