The reviewer found the following accessibility problems with your
page or site. Each item is followed by a link to relevant information
in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (that you can find at

     Missing structural elements (H1-H6, UL, OL, etc.)
          (Refer to Checkpoint 3.5)
     Invalid HTML
          (Refer to Checkpoint 11.1)
     Other:
Priority 1 errors: missing alt text, missing required lang= attributes to identify changes in language., inaccessible to keyboard users - drop-down nav control broken if kbd used; drop-down nav inaccessible without javascript; use of images as links prevents resizing; Headings missing. Groups of links are not marked up with appropriate structural markup (eg UL,LI). Unnecessary _presentational_ markup (U tags - deprecated) breaks up words thus disrupting output of voice browser (tested with Opera8+Voice); Recommend accesskey assignments be documented in title= attribute.
