Re: Questions about Evaluating Web Sites...

Hello Chuck,

In fact, in the virtual PC mode, the only attribute that JAWS mention is 
underline, all others are normal.

It is a limitation for the Web because in Word this function works fine.

>>2. Regarding 2.2.3, the change log states

>>         clarify purpose of changing the font size (2.2.3) [20011030]

>>3. Regarding 2.2.5:
>>
>>         questioning what printing page accomplishes (2.2.5) [20011030]
>>         [20020412] it is useful for some people, so we will leave this

>>My concern isn't with the change log comment (which I agree with). The

>>Question: Isn't black and white (i.e. 2-color) display or printing

>>color to gray-scale (or print out page on a gray-scale printer) and 
>>observe whether color contrast is adequate." ?
>>
>>4. Regarding 2.2.6 - I made the change suggested in the change log:
>>
>>         clarify without the mouse (2.2.6) [20011030]
>>         [20020412] agreed, change to without using the mouse

>>I think this point has further problems, even after the suggested
