RE: Accessible Forms?

Whoa!  VBScript, as JavaScript or JScript only provides behavior on top of
HTML - the accessibility of a page is not affected by the presence, or lack
of scripting.

Sure, I can create an inaccessible HTML page with scripts, I can do it
without scripts too.

VBScript is only a language - it's not user interface.  The form controls
are exactly the same.

HTML forms are accessible for nearly all browsers (assuming the brrowser is 
reasonably accessible in the first place). VB Script is not. Not even
nearly.

But the answer would involve using something other than FP it seems, or 
drawing up your page in FP and then fixing it using Notepad or something.

This seems to be a standard thing in accessible design - until the tools
are a LOT better, learning HTML is at some level pretty necessary. Lucky 
it's pretty simple.
