No offense was meant, mostly I was just trying to be funny. Guess I failed at that! Preaching to the choir is one thing. And I certainly would not be a regular here if I was bothered by constantly being reminded that I was not doing things quite the RIGHT way! I would just point that the original question was very simple. The thread generated has been very illuminative, but NOT entirely on topic. Which is the more compelling (and easier to sell) message: (1) Your pages can look pretty much just like they do now, you just have to do a few relatively easy things to make them accessible. You can pretty much keep working the way you have been, just be mindful of few more details. or (2) Your pages suck. You SHOULD be writing using strict HTML 4.01 (or even better, XHTML 1.0) and CSS. Redo everything you've got, and learn to author new pages differently.
