If you’ve been following the news about hiding skip links using the CSS declarations display: none or visibility: hidden, you’ll know that screen readers may or may not be picking up the links. If you have a screen reader, you’ll want to see (and hear) the test suite What do Screen Readers Really Say? that Bob Easton has created. Currently, there’s a series of seven tests, including importing and linking the style, as well as other potential workarounds. So if you’ve got a screen reader, fire it on up and head on over, making sure to provide Bob your results.
