Fix: Add skip-link ID to Skip to content anchor tag

[Debarghya-Banerjee]

Trac Ticket: Core-62311

Summary

• This pull request introduces an ID attribute to the "skip to content" link, enhancing accessibility for users navigating with assistive technologies. By adding id="skip-link", we ensure that this link can be targeted by "back to top" functionality, providing a seamless user experience.

Changes Made

• Added id="skip-link" to the existing "skip to content" link.

Rationale

• While the current implementation allows users to visually jump to the content, adding an ID ensures that:

• The "skip to content" link can be easily referenced by other navigation elements, such as a "back to top" link.

• When users activate these links, they receive proper focus, improving the overall accessibility of the site.

• This small change can significantly enhance the experience for keyboard and screen reader users, making navigation more intuitive.

Impact

• This update will improve compliance with accessibility standards and create a better user experience for all visitors, particularly those using assistive technologies.
