Tailslide -> Source Order and Accessibility (12/29/2005 11:52:34)

Found an interesting article regarding source order and skip links:
http://www.usability.com.au/resources/ozewai2005/#section01
One of the advantages of CSS layouts is that you could easily have the page content before the navigation in the source order to possibly aid accessibility - i.e. people using text readers etc don't have to go through the navigation on every page to get to the actual contents.
This article includes some research (although not exactly a massive sample group used) which shows that the majority of users of text readers expect to find navigation BEFORE the content and it could actually be confusing to people if the content came first.
50% of respondents found skip links useful - the more experienced the user, the less they relied on skip links strangely enough - you'd think it would be the other way around.
