Subject: Regarding the use of Anchor links in headings
No previous message | Next message →

Hi all,

I would like to know whether it is a good practice to use Anchor links
in headings.
As a screen reader user, I find it very helpful for me, but need to
know if it provides any challenge in terms of accessibility. If yes,
would like to know why?

Thanks
Ramakrishnan

Hi

I don't see why it would be a problem, as long as the link text plays
the role of a heading (marks the beginning of a section of content)
and looks like a heading.
Just be mindful that your page does not become a 100-headed monster.
If used too much, headings lose their importance as navigational
aides, and meaning in terms of content hierarchy.
Sometimes a webpage can do with a good beheading.
