Hi all...
i have been trying to work around the 'smiley problem', ie, that ':)'
means nothing for aural browsers...
my current solution is to use a <span class="smiley">*smile*</span> (or
*wink* or *pout* or whatever...) and the use a CSS stylesheet so the
*smile* is printed out in red (or pronounced in a different peach,
although I haven't tried aural stylesheets as I cannot yet check them)
Booby approves my pages but on accessibility tips it comments about ASCII
art...
The only thing I can think of as ASCII art is the '*' surrounding the
words... how much of a problem is "*grin*" for an aural UA? Would it be
better just "smile" and making it to stand out of the main text via the
stylesheet?
Any help appreciated...
(note: pages with this are, if you like to check, at
Http://web.usc.es/~phdavidl/slidedraw/, any comments and suggestions
really welcome...)
Thanks,
David@
