Well, that would be a weird thing to do because it's up to the governments to regulate themselves, not us. :) But I see where you are coming from here. The idea is a good one, but to flesh it out more we need to tell them how and why to use multimedia. If we say that a site is "more accessible" to people with cognitive disabilities if it contains multimedia -- and I will accept that as true -- we need to give some guideance as to how they should do it, and what it should cover. A relatively clueless government webmaster would see such a recommendation and simply slap on any random multimedia content and declare the job done! Jonathan, let's explore this a little bit more -- what kind of multimedia content would you most like to see on a web site? Can you describe a "good attempt" and a "poor attempt" at meeting such a recommendationi as you describe? --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 _________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
