Whether such browser functionality can be used to satisfy this AA success criterion depends upon which browsers are used by the target audience. If only IE7 supports zoom and your users are not using IE7, you need to use other techniques such as scalable fonts. > b) will the sections that reccommend to use em units be modified to reflect > new zooming techniques in browsers? No, using scalable fonts is still a sufficient technique to satisfy this success criterion. > b) is horizontal scrolling when using zoom a no-go for accessibility or is > it more a usability issue and a consequecne of AA classification? It is an accessibility issue, which is why it is included in WCAG. However, there is some content for which it will not be possible to scale the content in a way that doesn't require horizontal scaling (e.g. large complex data tables). > > Regards, > Stefan > Loretta
