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...)
