In Using Skip Nav Links, you learned why skip navigation links are important for the accessibility of your web pages, as well as how to implement them. In this followup tutorial, you'll learn how to style your skip nav links using CSS to hide them from visual users.
Before reading this article, please keep in mind that hiding skip nav links is not recommended because it renders them useless to some of the users they are supposed to benefit. If you can, leave your skip nav link visible to help as many people as possible with it. However, I know that some clients may insist that the link be hidden, so I will show you how to hide your skip nav links in a variety of ways. I'll start out with the worst methods and move to the best, finishing with a method that can return the usefulness of your hidden skip nav links to keyboard users.
