Hi,
I currently use a system advised by
http://www.webaim.org/techniques/css/invisiblecontent/ for a hidden link on
a site designed to catch only harvesting robots, that being the *display:
none*. I use http://totalvalidator.com/ for validation, it came highly
recommended and is certainly more capable than the Rule508 'Cynthia Says'
one that comes with the Firefox WebDeveloper. I've had a quick 'chat' with
the team that are responsible for Total Advisor and they inform me that it
does not check for CSS compliance so is flagging up the hidden link as being
a problem, although it's abilities for checking other parts of WCAG / WAI
coding is exceptionally good and even picked up a couple of spelling
mistakes ;-)
Could some one with a screen reader have a quick look at
http://mgjuddltd.co.uk and check that the reader does NOT read out "Hidden
Link - Security link only" which would be after the last navigation button
"Stop Press" in the navigation list on the left. (If you get chance, could
you also ensure that this behaviour is repeated when Full Navigation list is
toggled Off).
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Phill.
