Foundation - Skip Links
Description
If your site contains lot of navigation, then it is a bit difficult for a screen reader to get the site content by reading through the entire navigation.
To solve this problem, you can use skip link at the top of your page and use the .show-on-focus class to hide the content and tabindex = "0" attribute to make an element focusable.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of skip links attribute in Foundation −
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset = "utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv = "x-ua-compatible" content = "ie = edge" />
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0" />
