Hello, I think it is great to give an accesibility course. http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/courses/2003-09-REHAB711NC/index.html mentioned by Jon Gunderson validates as html 4.01 transitional, but not as 4.01 strict. e.g. the map element used for the navigationbar is a problem. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/conform.html: 4.1 Definitions under authors: We recommend that authors write documents that conform to the strict DTD rather than the other DTDs defined by this specification. Please see the section on version information for details about the DTDs defined in HTML 4. I also refer to the recent thread "Links from Yvette" on the WAI-GL list. This concerns e.g. an example with the <map>-element from http://www.w3.org/WAI/wcag-curric/sam105-0.html This example does not validate as xhtml 1.0 With so many versions of xhtml and html I think all the WAI/WCAG-examples should always be validated for every new dtd and new valid examples added when needed. Should n't all the accessibility coursess always teach at least html 4.01 strict as this is also used as a base for xhtml and discourage the use of html 4.01 transitional. (also seen the above conform.html text)? With so many versions of xhtml and html I think all the WAI/WCAG-examples should always validated for every new dtd. greetings Ineke van der Maat
