I understand the quandry, but the example is perfectly communicative. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Gilder" <w3c@tom.me.uk> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: Guideline on avoiding visual language? Something that I feel is missing from WCAG is a guideline about trying to avoid using visual language. For instance, "see the links on the left" - meaningless in an audio or text browser. The WCAG technique documents are somewhat guilty of this, http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#data-tables gives an example of: "The table is divided into two columns. The left-hand column is 'Total investment required in billions of dollars'. The right--hand column is 'Spending' and is divided into three sub-columns." ...for a sample table caption. Might be nice to include something on this in future guidelines? Cheers -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
