I can't > [DJW:] There is no concept of a drop down in HTML, except in as much as a permitted implementation of SELECT is as a drop down menu, so this is off topic.

[DJW:] Checkpoints (highest priority) 6.2 and 6.3 in http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/ have already been covered. 6.4 6.5 and 9.2 (second priority) also apply. As the sort of thing you are probably referring to involves pop-up windows, guideline 10.1 (no popup windows - second priority) also applies. > [DJW:] "Section 508" is normally used to refer to the ADA requirements. The W3C content accessibility guidelines are not the same as Section 508, but are very similar. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS. >
