Remarks

Use the Menu.SkipLinkText property to specify the alternate text for a hidden image read by screen readers to provide the ability to skip the list of links. The text that you specify provides assistive technology devices with a description of the hidden skip link image that can be used to make the control more accessible.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see System.ComponentModel.LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.

The System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu control provides the Menu.SkipLinkText property as a way for the entire control to be skipped by screen readers. If the Menu.SkipLinkText property is set, an invisible image with alternate text is rendered, giving the user the option to jump to the end of the control. Screen readers read the alternate text aloud, and the image occupies only one pixel space. For pixel-precise control over the rendering of the page, set the Menu.SkipLinkText property to an empty string ("") and provide your own mechanism to skip the menu. The Menu.SkipLinkText property is set to the empty string by default.
