A page that redirects, gives me a message about having scripting disabled, is nowhere near valid HTML, isn't searchable without scripting, has a drop-down that only works with scripting, doesn't have alt text for all images, uses deprecated and bloated HTML elements such as <font>, is that enough? Better than previous efforts, yes - but nowhere near any "international standards for disabled access" that I know of. -- Tom Gilder tom@tom.me.uk
