The standards that is placed on centers of training and teaching are, and should be, much stricter than those placed on anything else. The ITTATC, as I understand it, teach. It is my firm view that the requirement this places on them is a far stricter one. "Do, or do not.

I can only speak for myself - no, I didn't miss it. However: to your claim that this site, which promote accessibility through training and assistance, is usable by the blind I counter with two structural problems that exist throughout the site and which will make it more difficult for several groups of users. The image lacking an alt-text seems a mere fluke; someone forgot it I'll wager. -- - Tina Holmboe Greytower Technologies tina@greytower.net http://www.greytower.net/ [+46] 0708 557 905
