Focus

[David]

I have something analogous to this:


<a href="#content" >jump to content</a>

<div id="content">
<h1>blah<h1>
<a>blah</a>
</div>


When selecting the "jump to content" link, IE moves focus to the top
of the #content div. Gecko browsers move it to the link. What's up?

What do you mean by 'selecting'?

URL? Which link?

Is that link really necessary? And why "jump"? I don't feel like I'm
jumping anywhere when I browse the web.

To the link inside div#content? That would be strange. Url?

Do you prefer skipping?

Only if there's a jump rope.

Hitting return when it's in focus, clicking on it with a mouse, etc...

Those using screenreaders/screen magnifiers/handheld devices can all
find "jump" links of great use. Decided to use "jump to xxx" because
it's more descriptive than "skip xxx".

Yeah...can't provide URL quite yet, but I thought it strange as
well...always moves focus to the first link in the div...
