Techniques NEVER forbid anything. A technique cannot forbid. Something may not qualify as an implementation of that technique. But it could be another technique itself. Whether that other technique would also satisfy the SC is a different question. Once written up it can be considered by the group and accepted or not as sufficient or advisory or as a failure. If it works it would be Sufficient or advisory. If it satisfies the SC it would be sufficient. ALSO something does not have to be listed by the group as sufficient to be sufficient. More on this is in the Understanding WCAG 2.0 doc itself. Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind. Engr. & BioMed Engr.

So this technique will, in effect, forbid nested forms. I notice that this technique is mapped to Success Criteria 4.1.1 which is level 1. Cheers, Chris
