Hi Philip,
I really like the idea of using the pseudo-class :focus to accomplish
the appearing "skip to...." link when tabbing.
I also like the idea of being able to skip back and forth between
main content and navigation.
As far as hiding the skip to link in NS4 completely, this seems like
a good idea based on the fact that the keyboard focus does not
skip in this browser, as it should.
I am assuming you would use display:none to achieve that, which
would effectively hide it completely from keyboard access, but still
make it available to screen reader users who, of course, would still
find it useful (unless display:none also hides content from screen
readers?)
Thanks for the technique Philip.
Leo.
