We are being asked to put in "Skip" Links so that the visually impaired using
screen readers will not have to sift through a navigation bar every time a
page loads. Anyone familiar with this? I would appreciate an example of a
script that anyone can provide.

Thanks!

<body>
<div id="skipLinks" style="position:absolute; left:-2000px;"><a
href="#bodyCopy">Skip Links</div>

assuming you have a named anchor at the top of your body content called
"bodyCopy".

All the pages on this site: http://www.cmac.state.ct.us/access/ have that
feature (except the home page). You can do a View | Source in IE to see how
it's done.

Okay, that should help. Is there a way I can check to make sure what I have
actually works without possession of a reader?

Thank you.

Yes, you can test it by using your keyboard's Tab key to navigate through
the page. When you hit the link, press enter and you should be taken to the
main content of the page.

You can also download the demo version of Window-Eyes for testing - it will
run for 40 minutes at a time and then you have to reboot if you want to keep
running it: http://www.gwmicro.com/demo/
