It only checks to see if the page conforms with the published HTML specifications. Compliance with HTML specs is a level 2 priority checkpoint in WCAG 1.0, by the way. That is the only true connection between the HTML validator and WCAG compliance. It's also important to note that no automated checker can confirm WCAG compliance at any level -- not the HTML Validator and not Bobby. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Sr. Engineering Project Leader, Reef-Edapta http://www.reef.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Contributor, Special Edition Using XHTML http://kynn.com/+seuxhtml Unofficial Section 508 Checklist http://kynn.com/+section508Received on Wednesday, 10 January 2001 21:25:32 UTC
