I think you're being a little unfair here, Bruce. If we went by the "majority rules" principle, most of us should just stop worrying about this issue, since most people outside of our little circle "agree" that the web is "not meant for people with disabilities..." I think Anne's use of Front Page -- with appropriate instructions on how to add necessary information to make pages more accessible -- is acceptable, given the fact that there are few _good_ options which meet all of her criteria for a product. There simply are no good software packages aimed at non-designers creating web pages. --Kynn, who guesses this makes me "uninformed" -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Technical Developer Relations, Reef http://www.reef.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://idyllmtn.com/ Contributor, Special Ed.
