    I'm looking for a quick and dirty way to hide accessibility options, (ie. font resize / skip to content options) in a full width pane at the top of a header. I envision a simple click or scroll to get a sliding pane with all the nice accessibility options. Obviously, I don't want to hinder users, so scroll may be better, and it would be nice if this could be done with semantic correctness so that impaired users can still get the options in their audio / specialty browsers.

    What are people doing in this way? Is there a quick and dirty script out there? Any help or insight is appreciated.

    Not sure where Ajax comes in here, but you can see http://www.webstandards.org for a hidden example, and http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/ for a sliding example.

    Is hiding accessibility options from those who would benefit the most from them really a good idea? Yeah, you can make the font bigger--if you can figure out where that control is hiding...

    @adjustafresh, I had misgivings about putting font resize options in a hidden panel. I don't really see any problems with links for the visually impaired though.

    @Petty Rider, ekonym likes the codeigniter example. Thankyou.
