Hi
Thanks to those who have come back to me on this one. I'll now go back to
the person I was recently discussing this with and hope they can do
something with it!
Thanks again.

Theresa,
The easiest way to accomplish this is to use CSS, stylesheets in
other words, to hide the link from sight by positioning it off-screen.
In the html of the page, you give the link a class, perhaps called
remove, like this:
<a href="#content" class="remove">Skip to content</a>
Then in the stylesheet, you give the class it's rules of
presentation, like this:
.remove {
Position: absolute;
Left: -900em;}
What this does is position the link out of view from the browser
window, using a negative number.
The measurement is given in a unit called an em, which is the same
width as whatever font size has been set. Which means it remains flexible no
matter what resolution the user has their montor at, or how large they have
scaled their text to be.
If a working example would help, please point them to

Hope this makes sense, but drop me aline either on or off list
otherwise.
Tink.

Subject: [access-uk] Jump to Content
Hi All
When looking at websites using JAWS, I have sometimes come across a link
saying "jump to content" or "Skip navigation". I was trying to ask my local
Council about having such a link so that it would be easier for a visually
impaired person to navigate round the site, ie being able to miss out
reading through a number of links that are repeated on each page and jump to
the relevant section on that page - and they didn't know what I was talking
about. Is this a link that is invisible to the sighted user? How is it
done?
Any help gratefully received.
