It occurs to me that we should consider talking to the authors of various packages for programming languages, that generate HTML as part of a CGI library. For example, CGI.pm for Perl lets a programmer create scripts that generate HTML, using perl routines. E.g.: hr; This produces an <HR> tag. There is the potential to generate non- accessible HTML as the "raw markup" is hidden from the programmer; likewise, there's potential here to increase accessibility on a number of sites that use these standard libraries, if we can get accessibility considerations included in future releases of the code. This sounds like an authoring tool issue -- I'm a newbie, have we addressed this before? -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Design an accessible web site: http://www.kynn.com/+fedweb Enter the Virtual Dog Show http://www.dogshow.com/ Enroll now for my online CSS course! http://www.kynn.com/+cssReceived on Tuesday, 12 January 1999 16:09:00 GMT
