Brian, congratulations on getting some more accessibility into the web. One of the things I particularly enjoyed was reading hte article about using Bobby, where you pointed out that thre are a number of manual checks that are involved in claiming Bobby approval. In many cases these manual checks are extremely important.

There was a discussion concerning some of the problems I'd had in getting the magazine to fully abide by the accessibility authoring guidelines, because of problems in getting style sheets to work in Netscape. Issue 4 of Exploit Interactive web magazine is now out - see http://www.exploit-lib.org/issue4/ The web site now passes the Bobby accessibility test. However images in articles are contained in tables in order to overcome the stylesheet problems mentioned. An article on this topic is available at: http://www.exploit-lib.org/issue4/software-used/ Articles in the current issue now contain links to the Bobby, HTML validation and BabelFish translation services. A summary of developments to the web site is available at: http://www.exploit-lib.org/issue4/exploit-interactive/ Brian Kelly -------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Kelly, UK Web Focus UKOLN, University of Bath, BATH, England, BA2 7AY Email: b.kelly@ukoln.ac.uk URL: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ Homepage: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/b.kelly.html Phone: 01225 323943 FAX: 01225 826838 -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI 21 Mitchell Street, Footscray, VIC 3011, Australia
