Obviously, based on your somewhat specious comments in response to the accessibility issue :) Seriously, as a web developer, you owe it to yourself to read up on it and learn exactly what it does (and does NOT) mean for web design. It doesn't prevent you from using lots of techniques, it merely requires that there are alternatives (you *can* use images, but provide appropriate 'alt' tags; you *can* use Javascript but the site must also be usable without it; you *can* use Flash but you need to program in the accessibility - and Flash has support for that these days). -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
