If yes, your page is compliant. I'm not sure it's that simple, though -- what assistive technologies, and on what software platforms?

So I disagree with your interpretation on the grounds that "assistive technology" is not monolithically heterogenous. --Kynn Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Customer Management/Team Edapta Reef North America Tel +1 909-674-5225 ___________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
