My point is that because it can sort of [1] be made accessible by disabling stylesheets this doesn't mean that there aren't huge accessibility issues with such techniques. Imo CSS Zengarden has done and is continuing to do a disservice to the cause of demonstrating what CSS is about, and proper web authoring in general. It falsely suggests that CSS as currently implemented by the lowest common denominator (IE) it is capable of fundamentally changing the layout and look of a site. To create this illusion it litters the markup with spurious code which makes the code inflexible and difficult to maintain. They themselves warn against emulating their methods for real world web authoring, but few people notice that. CSS Zengarden sets a bad example. [1] Disabling stylesheets causes part of the content to disappear since it was inappropriately moved to CSS. -- Spartanicus (email whitelist in use, non list-server mail will not be seen)
