More information is available...and the "IBM Guidelines for Writing Accessible A pplications Using 100% Pure Java". <li class="gif"><span class="man">[Required]</span> <strong><span class="guideline"><br> If an applet requires user interaction (e.g., the ability to manipulate a physics experiment) that cannot be duplicated in an alternative format, make the applet directly accessible.</span></strong><br> More information is available through <a href="http://trace.wisc.edu/world/java/java.htm">the Java Accessibility page at the Trace Center</a> and the "<a href= "http://www.austin.ibm.com/sns/access.html">IBM Guidelines for Writing Accessible Applications Using 100% Pure Java</A>". <br> </li> Post below appended here for those not on the w3c-wai-ig list: To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org @ internet Subject: IBM Guidelines for writing accessible Java applications The "IBM Guidelines for Writing Accessible Applications Using 100% Pure Java" are now available! This is the industry's first set of 100% Pure Java (tm) application development guidelines for accessibility. The guidelines are based on the Java Accessibility API and their implementation on the Java Foundation Classes. IBM is focusing on the Java platform for accessibility and is encouraging developers to exploit this new technology. Learn more about the accessibility issues being addressed and read the guidelines on IBM's Accessibility site: http://www.austin.ibm.com/sns/access.html Regards, Phill Jenkins IBM Special Needs Systems
