Tabs, Display: none, SEO and Accessibility
I'm implementing jQueryUI's Tabs on a site where we want to ensure
that we meet strong SEO and Accessibility requirements.
I just noticed that it's using 'Display: None' to toggle the
visibility of each tab's contents.
I was under the impression that that is bad form in terms of both
accessibility (screen readers will miss it) and SEO (google doesn't
like hidden text) and that the preferred method was to use absolute
positioning off-screen instead (typically using a large negative
offset).
My questions:
1) does that still hold true?
if so...
2) Is there a jQuery tab implementation that uses that method rather
than the display: none?
