side question: why aren't the alt attributes for the section images more
informative than mere a repeat of the section headings? Just a thought.

Cheers,

Subject: [WebAIM] Interesting Navigation Concept



I did an accessibility audit on one of the web sites we developed
recently and came across an odd navigation idea.

http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/portal/index.jsp

If you click through the different sections you will see that the
current sub section will always become the uppermost one.
At first I was confused, but then I started to really like the idea,
especially when using keyboard for navigation.

To me it was the first time that a navigation was visually more
confusing than with assistive technology.
What do you think?
