OK, so I like sticking my nose in sometimes... Accessibility Standards and being bobby approved. http://webxact2.watchfire.com/report.asp?t=2#priority3 on http://lonewolf.homelinux.net/ Is just about as good as http://www.csszengarden.com Just the same 1 error :)
Just FYI... Just because a page passes bobby is no indication of whether the page is actually accessible or not. It's a good starting point, but not the final word. I know this from working with a consulting team (actually a state advocacy group) on a state website. The team was made up of visually impaired as well as physically impaired persons and not just a bunch of consultants looking to make a quick buck. It was a real eye-opening experience, no pun intended, and made me realize that accessibility is more than just a set of PITA regulations. And more than just about visual impairments. Accessibility also extends into the area of devices. Can I easily use that site on my PDA? On an ancient library computer? On a phone? On a refrigerator any more... :P The only way to tell if a site is truly accessible is to have it analyzed by humans. Ed
