Site Nav Links for Validation
Inspired by an entry in Mark Pilgrim's great blog on 30 days to a more accessible weblog, I have been playing around with the Site Navigation Bar on Mozilla. Now Internet Explorer and most other browsers do not (yet) support this feature, but it is fast becoming a favorite of mine.
I just realized that I could add this block of code:
<link rel="Validate"
href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"
title="HTML" />
<link rel="Validate"
href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer"
title="CSS" />
And Mozilla would add the entries to its Site Navigation Bar under "More"
Very nice.
Also, I just installed MovableType who have already integrated some of Mark's suggestions into their new templates, meaning that the default installation will be more accessible thanks in large part to Mark's article. Very cool.

[ed - Please note I am still working on getting this installation tweaked out to have all the accessibility features I'd like to have. I had to stop yesterday and fix it for Netscape4, otherwise known as the bane of the web.]
