(o) A method shall be provided that permits users to skip repetitive navigation links.

When navigation menus are duplicated across multiple pages, you must provide a way to skip the menues and drop to another part of the web page. Navigation bars are usually the first thing someone encounters on a page. For users with speech synthesizers, this means having to hear a number of links on every page before reaching the content of the page.

Example:

HTML Code Browser View
<A HREF="#content"><FONT COLOR="#ffffff (the current background color)">Skip Navigation</FONT></A><BR>
<A HREF="home.html">HOME</A> |
<A HREF="sitemap.html">SITEMAP</A> |
<A HREF="search.html">SEARCH</A> |
<A HREF="help.html">HELP</A>

<A NAME="content"></A><P><B>Page content.</B> (This line is the target of the "skip over these navigation links" link and would mark the start of the page content.)

Note: Skip navigation links can be hidden to the visual user by using the same font color for the link as the background color.
