I wonder how a talking browser works. I imagine that if I use a skip
navigation link it begins reading the main text starting from what it
follows
<a name="skip"></a>
But how does the user go to the links if he or she wants to do that?
Is it better to put <a name="skip"></a>
after or before the local search engine and the "Contact" link?
Please compare http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/faktaomitalien.html

Typical browser:

(a) Page loads
(b) <title></title> contents get spoken
(c) Browser starts to speak the (linearized) contents
(d) At some stage the users hears something like "Skip to main content"
(e) If the user is familiar with the layout of the page they just hit
the 'return' button during the "skip to main content" and the browser
starts speaking from wherever it is transferred to on the page.
(e -- alternative) The user hears the "Skip ...." followed by some more
text and hits the Ctrl button to stop the speaking. The user then uses
the back-arrow to move back (item-by-item) to where the browser starts
speaking "Skip ...." and hits the 'return' button at that stage.

Providing the layout is consistent from page-to-page the user will hit
'return' immediately on hearing 'Skip'.

"Skip ..." should be the first thing on the page that the browser
encounters.

regards.

Do you mean that it does not play a role whether I put <a name="skip"></a>
after or before the local search engine and the "Contact" link provided I do
it the same way on all the page so that the user will not be confused?

I would use a better name there. You are naming an anchor to represent your
main content, so a better name might be "content".

Do you consider "search" and "contact" to be part of the navigation? I do,
so if you want your user to be able to "skip navigation" then put it after.

Cheers,

Sorry, but I am not sure that I understand what you meant.
I may not use "content" instead of "name".

Not content instead of name, content instead of skip

But in this case I have to use <p><a href="#content"> <img
src="../bilder/test.gif" height="1" width="1" alt="Bitte, zum Hauptinhalt
dieser Seite direkt gehen"></a></p>
before, don´t I?
