These links should appear at the
top of the HTML, below the primary header but before the main navigation. Here??™s an
example:


...

Accessibility is Awesome

• Skip navigation ??
  and go to content


• Go to ??
  search


• Go to ??
  navigation

... rest of content, including main navigation ...


These links provide a way to instantly leap to different sections of a single document. The
most critical link is the one to skip navigation and go right to the content. Because menus
can be long and complex??”especially if they contain drop-downs??”screen reader users
appreciate being able to access the content without wading through a sea of links first.
These links are also valuable when accessing the Web on a mobile device. Because cell
phone and PDA screens are so small, there is often a gratuitous amount of scrolling that
gets done before the real content is reached. A single link at the beginning of the document
allows users to jump past all the riffraff.
