Re: Accessibility issues on Semantic FAQ page

Sailesh,

for the time being, I decided to remove the javascript mechanism from
the page, I am not really sure how to solve the problems you refer to.
The page is now 'traditional' in the sense that its structure is not
dependent on a javascript at all...

Sincerely

Ivan
