Rank Links by Order of Importance

People using screen readers will often skip a complete reading of a navigation bar and move through a Web page using the tab key, or by activating a command on the reader which brings up a list of links on the page.

You can assist these users by ranking the order of the links. Use the TABINDEX attribute to control the order in which links are read. Please note that TABINDEX currently only works with Internet Explorer.

For example:

<A HREF="home.html" TABINDEX="3">Home</A> <A HREF="google.html" TABINDEX="1">Google</A> <A HREF="yahoo.html" TABINDEX="2">Yahoo</A>

In the above example, the "Google" link is given top priority, then comes "Yahoo" and finally, "Home."
