At this a.m.'s telecon I was trying to find a site that I had seen earlier in the week. I have found out it was not a public site, so I will summarize the issue that we found. The site uses rollovers on menu items to display pictures. For example, "architecture" is associated with an image of an indoor swimming pool, "industrial design" is associated with an image of a station wagon with the back door open so that you can see into the back of the car, "interior design" seems to be associated with a modern, shiny kitchen. The issue is that the links on their own "architecture, industrial design, and interior design" give you no context. The images provide you with an idea of what you might find if you follow the link. In the text-only version they only provide the links. The question we asked this morning is, "how would you determine if these two sites (the text equivalent and the graphical with rollovers) are equivalent?" They have the same links, but there is information presented on the graphical page that is not available on the text-only. --wendy -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /--
