> I'm giving a talk on web accessibility shortly. I'd like to know the > status of mainstream browser support for LONGDESC. Don't limit your options. Focus on the extent of *support*. * iCab on Macintosh * Mozilla and Netscape 6 and later * IBM Home Page Reader (apparently) * Jaws 4.01 and later Nothing else that I know of. At all. The defunct Windows screen reader pwWebSpeak used to support it. > But doesn't say whether the file can be HTML, XHTML, plain text, etc. > (or that it shouldn't be PDF, GIF, etc.!), can contains JavaScript, etc. > Although the example give a file with a .html extension. It can be any URI. > If use of longdesc is needed to future-proof Web resources for when > browser support is available, are their any guidelines on using > longdesc? There will be when we finally finish proofing my book and it gets published. -- Joe Clark joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility: <http://joeclark.org/access/> Weblogs and articles: <http://joeclark.org/weblogs/> <http://joeclark.org/writing/> | <http://fawny.org>
