I know that Jim Thatcher (formerly of IBM access group) has some information and resources. I am not sure what else is out there, but I agree that the resources for javascript accesibiliy are precious few at the moment and that more would be greatly appreciated. cheers Charles McCN On Tue, 17 Jul 2001, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: It is true that there are other 'free' tools such as java, in my experience, like many costly packages, they make accessibility even harder to achieve. It remains the case that: Javascript books and educational websites need to demonstrate with clear exposition and good coding how to incorporate the benefits of client side javascript into a homepage, and maintain accessibility. I've yet to find a DHTML book or website that attempts to discuss implementing accessibility, and my gentle attempts to raise the profile of javascript and dhtml within wai have not been encouraged. If anyone knows of such a site or book please forward the details. As David explains so well, if when we first begin to program, we make mistakes, it's no wonder that later we have disasters. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web" -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
