I think you are right to be suspicious of that statement.

The work around involves caching the >site and then stripping it, again something I have done, but it is slow. What's specific about ASP's? I believe an ASP can output any type of page, including one with images. Does a site have to be pictures only to be accessible to non-readers? What if they have access to a program that reads the text on the screen? Also, I don't understand what you mean by your workaround. What do you mean by stripping the site? ------- Leonard R.
