>The Web Standards Project (www.webstandards.org) has this campaign >to put something on your web site telling people using "broken >browsers" to upgrade to something more standards-compliant. *and then present all your content anyway*. MSN and Salt Lake Olympics *refuse* to show you content if you use unapproved browsers. Using an @import command in your stylesheet, you can even hide the advice to choose a better browser from those selfsame browsers. >Should someone using a "broken" assistive technology program which >doesn't follow the standards closely enough be denied access? You can't do a browser sniff for a screen reader. One only has a problem (on Windows, at least) if your screen reader sits on top of Netscape 4. But I don't see why disabled Netscape 4 users should be given any kind of preferential treatment over nondisabled; the browser remains just as broken. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org | <http://joeclark.org/access/> Accessibility articles, resources, and critiques || "I do not pretend to understand the mind of Joe Clark" -- Larry Goldberg
