It would be a great improvement if W3C/WAI set an excellent example, as well as advocating via the various wcag guidelines. For instance by dramatically increasing its use of graphics, at least on some part of the site, in common with the vast majority of websites, at least the ones I visit... I don't believe this was mentioned in the 2 points made although I've been discussing this online with others for quite a few years. Perhaps I misunderstood Jason's meaning? Certainly there has been very little effort to demonstrate the guidelines. Indeed it is only recently, as I understand it that examples of excellence are being considered, as links. It is only by trial and error that a great result will be achieved, and it is certainly late to be sticking a toe in the water. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web"
