Your adaptation I consider "equivalent". This emphasizes again the importance of not focusing on the use of this or that tag >but rather on making sure the overall effect is equivalent. Yeah, unfortunately edapating an equivalent "effect" is much more art than science; it's harder to distill exactly what you need to do into a set of rules. And of course you have to have appropriate technical support for any sort of changes you want to make, AND you have to understand usability, AND you have to have a knowledge of what I sometimes disparagingly (but still lovingly!) call "tag trivia", and you have to be a good interface designer. I myself am only good at a few of those, which is why I can talk a good fight but I have to hire UI designers and programmers if I need a great user interface! :) --Kynn Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ ACCESSIBILITY IS DYNAMIC.
