WCAG 1.0, Checkpoint 6.3 -- Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative accessible page. [Priority 1] 508 § 1194.22 (l) -- When pages utilize scripting languages to display content, or to create interface elements, the information provided by the script shall be identified with functional text that can be read by assistive technology. Are you suggesting there are significant differences between the two standards? In reality, why would a "developer" simply identify, in a functional manner, an instance of script usage (as required by 508) without ensuring the information is usable as well? ====================== Bill Williams Communications Specialist USDA Forest Service, Region 5 707.562.9005 wrwilliams@fs.fed.us ====================== "RUST Randal" <RRust@COVANSYS.com Jesper Tverskov said: > 3) Why do we not have a similar guideline about scripts in > Section 508? This is my biggest problem with 1192.22, but I think that Javascript is more of a usability issue than an accessibility issue. ---------- Randal Rust Covansys Corp. Columbus, OH
