I'm sorry, are we talking about accessibility or are we bashing Microsoft? Microsoft has an accessibility team. These are generally allies in the fight against inaccessibility. Has anyone tried contacting them to ask about .NET? If Microsoft's little form widgets were made accessible to screenreaders and the like, this would generally be a win for accessibility, I believe. Ergo, we might do better approaching the Microsoft accessibility and/or .NET teams for a reasonable discussion, rather than shouting LINUX loudly or listing the litany of Microsoft sins. (I know, I know, it's radical and of course it won't work, since Microsoft hates us all or something, but let's at least try before we get out the lynchin' rope.) --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201 Forthcoming: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours
