That's a definite shame. I would not say that Bobby itself is over-rated -- the program is amazing for what it does -- but rather that Bobby -compliance- is overrated by many who want to simplify the web accessibility problem too much and boil it down to one variable which can be easily tested. I.e., does it pass or not pass Bobby? Even the CAST people know and state that this isn't so simple, and yet people persist in caring more about a stupid cartoon logo than, for example, testing their sites by having people with disabilities try to use them. --Kynn Kynn Bartlett Sr. Engineering Product Leader Team Edapta Reef North America Tel +1 909-674-5225 ___________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
