But I would argue that in general layout tables mean a page does not qualify for double-A either, and I think I am in a very small minority on this one. P2 checkpoints that I think layout tables violate: 3.3 Use style sheets to control layout and presentation. 11.1 Use W3C technologies when they are available and appropriate for a task and use the latest versions when supported. 11.2 Avoid deprecated features of W3C technologies. I don't think the use of layout tables (per se) violates any P3 checkpoints, so if you accept that they are OK for double-A then I don't see any argument against them being OK for triple-A. cheers Charles McCN -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
