Re: Obscuring active elements and text

Thank You John +1.

I had spend a day looking for examples and by the time I was done my
writing skills were fading.

The problems I am finding are occurring when size exceeds 200% or when text
only enlargement is used. Also they are big commercial sites. So I'm going
to have to mock up images like Laura did to be vendor neutral.

It is very encouraging to see just how effectively the big sites have
complied to WCAG 2.0. Most behave very well up to 200% and most even work
with text only resize.
