Guy, one of the problems is that to the average visual user -- or a screenshot of a page -- there is little if any difference between the "look" of site that is more accessible to more people than one which is less accessible. In other words, most of us can't tell by looking, if we're the type who look at web pages. So a screenshot (in IE or Netscape) of a "before" and "after" page doesn't show much -- this makes it very hard to communicate the need to visually oriented designers and website owners. (Most website owners consider a page to be "what it looks like.") --Kynn -- -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
