Has anyone checked out DreamWeaver MX yet? It prompts the developer to enter accessible coding for web page components. We are in process of upgrading our office software to DW-MX Studio which includes the more-accessible version of Flash etc. It has a lot of other great features, including more-accessible Cold Fusion and components from the earlier version of DreamWeaver Ultra Dev. If you haven't looked at the specs yet, may be worth your time.

I have a new version of Selecting and Using Authoring Tools for Web Accessibility. I have not made many changes since we last talked. I cut down the intro a bit and moved the inline links to ATAG and WCAG. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/27june2002.html For my own enjoyment I made a version with the links removed altogether: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/12june2002a.html I still feel that we could remove the references to ATAG in the context of discussing workarounds, but I promise I won't mention it again. If you follow the links below to the changelog you will see the specific entries that I still have questions about: >From Change Requests from 11 Feb 2002 1 Is this item a "not"? Hard to tell from the changelog. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#110202.1 2 I added A-Prompt to strategy 2 but wasn't sure how to add it to strategy 1. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#110202.2 3 This item does not seem related to selecting software or even strategies for working around software limitations. It's more of an accessible Web page authoring strategy. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#110202.3 4 and 5 Unclear from changelog what to do about language issues. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#110202.4 >From Change Requests from 13 Feb 2002 1 I was uncertain where this item belongs. Is this a vendor question? Is this something you ask webmasters when considering authoring tool selection? http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#111302.1 2 I do not know what this means. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/eowg/implementation/software/changelog.html#111302.2 I hope we can wrap up these last entries tomorrow during our meeting and then pronounce this document done!
