Hello Richard, Using HTML list structure with CSS can be
very useful for navigation bars, simulated menus and tree views. It can be very
helpful to indicate the level of information such as sub-menus or
sub-navigation items that are normally identified visually by space or
positioning of text. Regards, Jason Megginson From: We came across a website that used the numbered list element
<ol> for its navigation bars (numbers hidden by CSS). It was really useful
for our blind colleague who was able to identify how many links in the bar,
whereabouts he was within the bar and, more easily remember where the
useful links were. There was no difference to visual users I can't see any disadvantages to using the numbered list
element for navigation bars and wonder if it should be a recommendation to
improve accessibility for blind users - i.e. does it really help all users of
screen readers or will some people find it annoying? Richard Warren Userite |

I thought Jaws automatically announced something like ‘fifth
item of 8’ even with unordered lists. Does your friend use Jaws ? Anyway, if other assistive technologies really need ordered list
to perform such a useful calculation, then why not ! Régine Lambrecht E-fficiency Coordinator Prevention Advisor ________________________________________________ Tel. +32.2.235.56.62 www.tipik.eu Tipik Communication Agency S.A. Avenue de Tervueren 270 • B-1150
