[Nfb-web] Skip to Content Links

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Mike,

    In fact I do use templates for all of those reasons. I got the code from
folks on another list and plan to add it to the templates and to the Web
pages I've created after the national convention. Any future Web Sites I
create will include the, "Skip to content" link. I just wasn't sure of the
code to use when page content varied, but now I have it.  Thanks for your
help.

Peter,

Technically it is done by using anchors on a web page. However to answer
your question about how to acomplish this when pages have varring content.
The answer is Templates. If you site has a standard template that it uses or
maybe 2 or 3 templates that it uses then just make this part of the template
and you won't have a problem. If you are not using templates and your pages
don't really adhere to a standard design then yes you will have to do it
individually on each and every page. This among other reasons like a
consistent desing for easy of navigation is why a standard desing is helpful
and important. Templates make a standard desing easy to implement and
maintain.
