Hi Andrew, my understanding is that while a screen reader is easily able to find an invisible D-link, a low vision user can't, and a keyboard user may be confused by the thing appearing as a link with no apparent content. The place to ask is probably the WCAG working group - mailto:w3c-wai-gl@w3.org - they are the maintainers of the techniques for WCAG. cheers Charles -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France) On Wed, 11 Apr 2001 Andrew_Arch@visionaustralia.org.au wrote: It appears that visible "D" links are still acceptable, but the invisible "D" link is not. (In which case, can anyone point me to a definitive list of "user agents" (or versions) that do/don't support "longdesc"?) I am then curious as to why visible "D" links are recommended as a technique but not invisible ones - a screen-reader doesn't differentiate!
