Name three graphical browsers-- browsers that can show .gif and .jpg graphics-- that cannot interpret CSS. Now please tell me how many users those browsers have, and then please give a credible estimate of how many colourblind people use those browsers. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book>
