HTML5 How To Skip Navigation When Name Attribute Is Obsolete

Question

In the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is states that you should supply a \"skip\" link that jumps you (for example) over a navigation block and straight into the conte

Answer 1

Instead of using <a> tags, you can use any element with the id attribute:

<h2 id="content">Content</h2>

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

EDIT, found you a source (albeit it's Wikipedia ;-)):

Alternatively (and sometimes concurrently), with the name or id attributes set, the element becomes a target. A Uniform Resource Locator can link to this target via a fragment identifier. Any element can now be made into an anchor by using the id attribute,[2] so using <a name="foo"> is not necessary.
