Hi there Tony,
There is some really useful articles at http://css.dzone.com/. You might
especially find Presentation Layer Accessibility and AJAX and Screen
Readers - Content Access Issues very useful.
Regards,

Hi Anthony,
I've always found through usability testing, that people use the highest
level of navigation to get back to the start of a task (generally the
tabs). Using the first pattern plus a body ID and CSS to highlight the
current tab (and remove the a:hover cursor) will give the same effect as
removing the link whilst allowing users to click on the tab if required
(which they almost certainly will do).
If you use the second pattern, be sure there's a link to the top-level
of navigation inside that page, or a user will have to visit a different
section in order to get back to the top level of the section they're in.

Does anyone have any guides to developing standards based/accessible web
applications like Basecamp ?
For example a common pattern for website navigation is the tab list
of links
<ul>
<li><a href ...>Cats</li>
<li><a href ...>Dogs/li>
<li><a href ...>Mice</li>
</ul>
However web applications often copy the navigation pattern from
desktop apps
of having the tab to the resource your viewing not a link
# .dogs.htm
<ul>
<li><a href ...>Cats</li>
<li><em>Dogs</em></li>
<li><a href ...>Mice</li>
</ul>
Is the second pattern acceptable ?
Other questions on building web standards applications might be :
how do you
direct assistive device users to errors in forms or how do you
handle ajax
updates to items on the page.
Any thoughts/blog posts/podcasts on the subject welcome.
Tony
