issue.
Section 508 1194.22 (o) A method shall be provided that permits users to
skip repetitive navigation links.
Most pages want to hide it from their sighted users which is why they use a
display:none. However, according to Joe Clark, skip nav's should be always
be visual since they also serve other users, people who can't use a mouse
either because of a physical problem or who are browsing your site through a
mobile phone or other type of browser.

Subject: OT: CSS and "Cloaking" Search Engine question...
Just out of curiosity:
Several of the CSS Books I'm studying hard advocate using "page
navigation" to help with accessibility:
CSS:
#pagenav {
display:none;
}
On the Page:
<div id="pagenav">
<ul>
<li>links here</li>
<li>links here</li>
</ul>
</div>
This is certainly a good thing and I've started using it myself on a few
sites I'm developing now, but would not this very same thing possibly be
seen as "cloaking" or using "hidden text" by various search engines and
get you penalized in the rankings?
Or, do the search robots pretty much ignore (for now) the CSS completely
and view the list of "display:none;" links (and whatever else may be in
there) as normal content on the page?
Just looking for opinions.....
