Can anyone explain whether the unusual primary navigation used on
http://siemens.com<;http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsiemens%2Ecom&;urlhash=suri&_t=tracking_anet>
(dropdown
breadcrumbs, Site Explorer, Contact menu, etc) is at all accessible? If not,
is there any way they could easily make it accessible? Not a coder, so the
simpler the answer, the better. Many thanks for your help!

Adam:

I've contacted a friend at Siemens, and their tech lead hoping to get more
information from you to be able to provide some assistance and/or answers to
your questions. Unusual navigation vs. accessible navigation, etc. Please
email Ginger Claassen: claassen AT c DASH lab DOT de at Siemens with the
questions you have, and let us know what the results of your discussion are,
if you can. Hope that helps!


Cheers,
Elle

Hi:
I just took a quick look at this and found it rather interesting . I am not sure what the different navigation you asked about was I did find lots of skip over links that seem to skip over only one thing witch I found strange. I would love to go through this with someone sited watching because I think I need to understand more about the layout to know what the site is doing.

Hi Lucy
If you would be willing to use the site over something like WebEx so I could
watch and hear in UK, then that would be amazing. Don't know if that is
possible?
Many thanks
Adam
