Sorry - this should have gone to list rather than the one person John >Some of these sections can be popup windows instead of pages and linked at >the top and bottom of Webpages. Which will mess up most of the accessibility criteria From http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505/ " . . changing the current window or popping up new windows can be very disorienting to users who cannot see that this has happened. " "10.1Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change the current window without informing the user. [Priority 2]" And as far as I know, the criteria for user agents to allow the turning off of spawned windows, or otherwise handling them, then the requirements will not be met. Regards John
