Hello, listers! Yesterday, while in search of an accessible WWW composing tool, I came across Amaya from the www.w3.org. Wow, I thought to my self, this must be the most accessible and HTML4.0-valid browser/editor. I downloaded the executable for Win95 and began testing. My surprise was, however, that while Amaya was HTML-correct, it wasn't that accessible at all. Here are some of the accessibility issues I encountered: 1. the status line doesn't show enough information to provide the VIP user about hapening on the screen. For instance, if I create a table, I need to know which cell I am in and the most basic table properties of my table. 2. Amaya would open these little windows for each action I was doing. Say, I wanted to highlight a part of text and create a hyperlink. When I selected Create a Link from the menu, there was no indication of where that link should be written. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on my challenge. Thanks, Victor ===== Hi, visit me at: http://tsarnet.home.ml.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
