Hi Tracy and Paul,

I know it is a weak argument, but the skip link is in the tab order and
its href appears in the status bar of the window. It is not completely
hidden from those who can see and cannot use the mouse.

"Yes, you can hide the text in links that allow users to skip to the
main content, but then we're once again up against the problem that this
hides an accessibility feature from those who *can* see and who *cannot*
use a mouse."


Paul,
This is so true and something I myself have not thought of.

Tracy
