A same-page “skip navigation” link messes up my page layout and is potentially confusing to sighted users. Is it OK if the link is invisible?
“Skip navigation” links, although very useful for nonsighted users, are also useful for sighted users who navigate by keyboard rather than mouse, including people with upper-body mobility impairments. For these users, the “skip navigation” link reduces the number of keystrokes required to access another link in the main content of the document. However, the “skip navigation” link must be visible in order for these users to know that it is available.
