I was using Konqueror (and it has JavaScript), so I disabled it first (globally). And those URLs I extracted from JavaScript and generated frame-page. Launching them "directly" had no side effect. (if you try these URLs with JS, JS will auto-redirect you to frame-based layout) All images stored on (and loaded from) Akamai - do not have 'alt' property. The rest is _typical_ FrontPage-generated HTML. It would be nice if someone (with good Lynx experience) can try these links and share his thoughts. After all, can blind people get at least something, or they will be completely lost in countless tables/TD/TR tags? | | Bob | still shouldn't have to enable something like Javascript to view a site he-he, try also http://www.oracle.com without JS. -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
