In many cases, a modern reader -can- accommodate the fashionable trends in web design -- assuming that the web designer has given the screenreader or voice browser enough information to accurately represent the page. Some ways of expressing information are very graphical -- frames are a visual metaphor based on 'physical' location on a screen, for example. These are fine to use as long as you realize the limits of the method, and provide adequate compensation for those limitations. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
