It is published by Glasshous, a company in the UK, and is available at: www.icdri.org/constructing_accessible_web_site.htm Jim gives you excellent instructions on how to accomplish accessiblity with both standards. An accessible version is coming out on CD. If you buy the book, then you will receive a copy of the CD as well when it comes out.

Randal -----Original Message----- From: Steve Vosloo [mailto:stevenvosloo@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 11:40 AM To: WAI IG Subject: 508 vs. W3C We have a client whose site is visited by UK and US users and which needs to be made accessible. The pressure for accessibility is coming from the US. I'd like to know what their options are ... do they: 1) Make the site 508 and WCAG Priority 1 compliant 2) Make it only 508 compliant. Will this satisfy the Disability Discrimination Act of the UK? 3) Make it only WCAG Priority 1 compliant? Will this satisfy the US pressure coming from the Federal funders of the site? All input would be greatly appreciated.
