Me between the *'s <snip> 1 – I think the checkpoint could be worded more straightforwardly. Perhaps Checkpoint 4.4 -- Ensure that content is usable with default user agent settings and no plug-ins. *The wording doesn't work for me, it's too loose + difficulty of defining 'default'* Checkpoint 4.4 Ensure that all content is readable and all function (other than artistic) is preserved when stylistic and scripting technologies are not supported or are turned off. *This is closer for me, but think it needs some tweaking. For example, see Jim Thatcher's page [1] on Scripts and Applets and Section 508. I would agree with his analysis of a fly-over menu 'If content is exposed with the onMouseOver event for a link, then for your site to meet the Section 508 requirement for scripts, that content must be available elsewhere, preferable prominently displayed on the page that is opened by that link.' To me this is accessible. The functionality is not preserved (it can't be) but there is 'equivalent availability'. So I would prefer something like *Ensure that all content remains available when stylistic and scripting technologies are not supported or are turned off.* Cheers Graham [1] - http://www.jimthatcher.com/webcoursea.htm AccEase Ltd : Making on-line information accessible Phone : +64 9 846 6995 Email : goliver@accease.com
