You're right, Lee, examples will help us. I'll be happy to send what I find as I work, as I also am developing such a course for my university. As for tables, I often use them to limit column widths for the sake of readability by _all_ persons. Style sheets are the better answer, though, and it will be good when more of the web surfing population gets browsers that support style sheets. Good luck, - tom >I welcome the various sets of guidelines on accessible web pages, >even if some are contradictory!
