I agree that it's not discriminatory -- as you say, the ultimate test is "is there access to the content?" I don't think this is the best way to enable that access to the content, and I think you need to watch out that your solution doesn't introduce additional problems for other people. I see web page accessibility problems as "hurdles" that are placed before a web user, perhaps in a racing lane if I want to stretch this metaphor. You need to make sure that if you remove a hurdle, you're actually taking it off the track entirely -- instead of just kicking it over into someone else's lane. -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Director of Accessibility, Edapta http://www.edapta.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ AWARE Center Director http://www.awarecenter.org/ Blueprint for Single-A WCAG Accessibility http://kynn.com/+blueprint
