Laurel's Long Walk

My sister is walking the pacific coast trail.
I threw this unique section together for her this weekend.

Simple. Laurel’s Long Walk

The base site is the Books to Prisoners Site she runs, also a quick one, but fun :

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

Two nice sites! Just the placement of the skip links looks odd.

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

Zero,
Do you mean the pagination link?
Can you give me more to work with than odd?

I’m curious what you feel is off. Thanks.

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

I just checked with Firefox and IE and the skip nav links don’t show. But in Opera, the 3 links show up centred at the top of the page just above where it says Olympia.

Zero,
You’re going to have to help me out a bit, sorry. I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. In IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, everything is showing virtually identical to me?

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

Would you be willing to show me a screenshot of what you’re talking about? That’d be helpful :)

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

Zero! ahhh, now I get it :) I’ve left that in there by default, but its the one that simply comes with Textpattern by default. Its an accessibility thing. Not sure it really applies with a site with so little content. Interesting to note it doesn’t do what it ought to in Opera (ie: its hidden in the other browsers using a Phark Method of text-indent: -99999px;)

Thx for the heads up.

Re: Laurel's Long Walk

I should have said accessibility from the start, but thought skip links was a commonly understood term. Won’t do any harm to leave them in, imho, even if it only helps perhaps one visitor.
