About [AUTO_REFRESH] Do not create periodically auto-refreshing pages, unless you have informed the user and provided a means of stopping it. Document says: Does it give me WCAG 1.0 compliance?: As long as auto-refresh is not used, this BP ensures compliance with WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 7.4, "Until user agents provide the ability to stop the refresh, do not create periodically auto-refreshing pages". At the time of writing user agents do not allow the user to disable auto-refresh (do they?). On 17/10/2007, Charles McCathieNevile <chaals@opera.com> wrote: > CMN: Opera does. Do others?

AKC: I don't think that user scripts are sufficiently widely used to be considered. Some user agents (among which Opera) do allow the user to disable auto-refresh, but at least one widely used one (FF) doesn't I believe so the whole set of UAs can not be considered as allowing it. On the other hand the content could be adapted for those that don't, something this document doesn't cover at present. So I take your point, but I've left the text as it stands for now. -- Email: achuter@technosite.es Blogs http://www.blogger.com/profile/09119760634682340619
