Fairly simply it means that if you are using JavaScript in a page the contents of that Javascript need to be accessible to assistive technology. In the example given the pop-up Javascript box (alert dialog, whatever) is allowable if the content is available (readable) to assistive technology. In simple language: Is the Javascript pop-up read when viewing the page in assitive technolgy? If yes, your page is compliant. Hope that helps- TimS Got 508? http://www.ssbtechnologies.com -----Original Message----- From: w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Graham Oliver Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 3:56 PM To: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Subject: Section 508 Question on Javascript - Section 1194.22, Paragraph (l) Hi I have tried to get to some sort of understanding of this on the Section 508 list at Trace, but am still in the land of confusion! The thread starts here http://trace.wisc.edu:8080/guest/archives/SEC508/sec508.0102/msg00000.html I have been asked to write an article on accessibility which covers Section 508 so would like to give a reasonable interpretation of this regulation. Anyone care to have a go? Cheers Graham Oliver __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
