Well given the type of junk that some professional web designers produce... Using the standards is good, there are far too many websites that ignore them and are written specifically for IE and, if you are lucky, another browser. But if someone has to use a screen reader program to browse the web they can't get at the information, sometimes you can't even get onto the actual content of the site if you don't use IE or whatever Macs use for browsing, for example if I want to check www.scarpa.net I would have to use windows, I can't even get to the main page using mozilla on linux. If programs were written in the same kind of vague approximation of code that a lot of websites use (and a lot of wysiwyg editors churn out) then you'd be lucky to even get the computer to boot properly, let alone run anything. -- James jamesk[at]beeb[dot]net There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
