Skippng links

There are two popular ways to create skip links:

2. Create a transparent gif and link it to an anchor tag located past your common navigation menus.

Using "skip to content text" to link to the main content.

<a name="navskip"></a><h1> The  main content...</h1>

Using a transparent image to link to the main content.

<a href="#navskip"><img src="transparent.gif" alt="skip  to main content"></a>
