accessibility.

Technique for Checkpoint 3.1 Allow the user to turn on and off rendering of
background images.

disable shows no embedded images or background images)

	-In [CSS1], background images and other background properties may be turned
on/off with the 'background' family of properties (for example the
'background-image' property).

background audio.

	-browser option to turn off playing of background audio (IE - play sounds -
when disable plays no sounds or background audio)

Technique for Checkpoint 3.5 Allow the user to turn on and off animated or
blinking text.

	- browser option to turn off animation (IE - play animations - when disable
shows no animated images only place holder space. a static image would be
better)

Technique for Checkpoint 3.6 Allow the user to turn on and off animations
and blinking images.

	-Render static text or image in its place.

Technique for Checkpoint 3.8 Allow the user to turn on and off rendering of
images.
