David, followed by a query from Joe Clark: <blockquote> > I took the action item to find out if WYNN or Kurzweil 3000 have a > feature to make zebra stripes on a table (alternate black on white, > white on black, row to row.) And that's important how? JavaScript and/or CSS can do that. If you just want to highlight a row, tr:hover will do it in non-braindead browsers. </blockquote> We were actually talking about a Javascript/CSS technique to do this, and the question of how such a technique might benefit people with disabilities came up as we discussed which guideline/success criterion the proposed technique might map to. I wanted to know whether the K3000 or Wynn provided such a function, figuring that if they did so it might be evidence that it benefits people with certain learning disabilities (who are the principal useers of those tools).
