I've read the thread: "Interaction with invisible elements" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2001Mar/0020.html I am a teacher, and my students have learning difficulties and cannot read*. I am having a similar problem with transparency and links. A testcase that clearly demonstrates the problem is here.... http://www.peepo.com/w3/transparent-links/ moving the mouse over the smaller icon will change the location or link. This is a very confusing message and is severely limiting development of our project http://www.peepo.com/crap/lbv/ A more complex beta site that requires IE5.5, javascript and cookies, it demonstrates the potential for non-literate users to move linked images to suit their interests. It has been very well received by my students, unlike some other sites I have designed. It has been suggested that this 'may' be a CSS issue, and that I could raise this issue with www-styles@w3.org . There is no immediate rush, but I would appreciate your attention to this matter, and some comments on its likely development. *similarly text readers are not particularly helpful, also SVG and imagemaps are not ideal routes either.... jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web"Received on Friday, 6 July 2001 10:35:22 GMT
