I would like to thank Tim Stephen Springer for the answer to the mouse over/colour change question. "To this end the new relesase of the diagnostic software we are working on does take the hover psuedo attribute into effect when distinguishing color contrast. That [the psuedo attribute] is what forces the color change when a user moves their mouse over a link." This however begs the question to be re-asked "does Bobby take colors into account" the answer is what I suspected from the start. Therefore it is perfectly possible (without being devious or rather imaginative) to obtain a bobby approval rating for an totally inaccessible site, after all how many sites provide a text only version for back up? This leads on to what I was saying weeks ago, and got shot down over (temporarily, humph.) via private e-mail. Bobby as a tool is great, the rating however is academic, the objective is accessibility. Therefore too much importance is attached to this rating. How I would love to copy this topic to Dial UK, but will resist the temptation. Another question. Recently I wrote an article on the AOL/ NFB issue, I then highlighted the get out clauses in red. This posed us a problem of how to convey that these sentences are in red, without affecting the visual versions' readability. I am sure this is elementary stuff, err, any suggestions? smiles Paul Davis www.ten-20.com The UK portal site for disabled people and associated professionals.
