That sort of thing is why I hadn't intended to go public yet :-) But I just took a look: it's complaining about your SYSTEM DTD, not about the document itself. I'm not sure what I'll have to do to fix that - watch this space. > Also it points out a WCAG 6.4 error saying if you specify an onclick you > should also specify an onkeypress, this is bogus (of course it's not your > fault, it's the lack of scripting appreciation over in wai-gl.) onclick > should only be duplicated by onkeypress if the behaviour on a click wants > to be duplicated when you press a key... needs to be a warning. The messages are defined in the Schematron's WCAG demo wai.xml. I haven't touched them, beyond changing the output format. Once the software is in place I'll think about whether the messages can be improved (in fact I *know* they can: none of them tell you a priority level yet, nor do they indicate whether they are a definite error or merely something to check). > > (3) Sean has sent me an outline that should help with constructing > > the EARL.

Right. Don't put too much effort in yet - the format isn't exactly stable. By all means tinker with it, though ... -- Nick Kew Site Valet - the essential service for anyone with a website. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>
