I'm curious how you are defining 'accessible' here; elements themselves are neither accessible nor inaccessible, it's the content that they contain that is accessible or not (but nice try). Then there is the question of "inaccessible" to whom? You? Me? A mobility impaired user? A deaf user? Tossing out "inaccessible" like it's some kind of show-stopping boogie-monster is offensive to me, and I'm sure others. Please refrain from doing so unless you have specific issues you wish to bring forward. JF
