Hi Michael, Been looking at at Bobby 3.2 . The wording of the requirements for bobby approval is a lot better. I think it should take care of people overlooking the manual checks. Also, the bobby output is displayed against a white background, overriding the background image, which gets rid of that problem that bobby output was sometimes invisble against the background . Plus the output is generally simpler and cleaner looking and has a nice shortcut bar to the various parts of the report.Those are just the most obvious enhancements, I'm sure there are many more. Found a bad link though... the icons guideline page http://www.cast.org/bobby/icon.html is not found. Also, I'm still concerned that it doesn't ask the user to check the accuracy of ALT text. It's still possible to get bobby approved with alt text that doesn't match the images. I know this concerns you too, and you're balancing this against other factors, but for me checking alt text overrides other factors. Len -- Leonard R.
