Actually, I'm not convinced of this, with the ability of those users to turn -off- graphics. All of the content is available; none is hidden in the markup. It is clear what any given graphic represents. Thus there are no absolute barriers to access, because the information can be accessed in a simple, easy way which is available for free in every browser. (You can argue that turning off graphics may cause extra complications to accessing that information -- but this is the case with _any_ single-presentation solution! This problem only illustrates the need for a solution such as Edapta's -- because this entire debate becomes a _non-issue_ when you are able to generate optimized user experiences!) --Kynn -- -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
