Just an FYI, Section 508 is the government's requirements for the departments of the executive branch and those receiving grant monies (or other monies) from the executive branch and using that money to put something up on the web.
Current cases in the courts (including the agreement between both Ramada.com and priceline.com with the New York Attorney General's office (under the ADA) always are referencing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 1.0) put out by the W3C. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/ AA (Priority 1 and 2) items make for a very good accessible site. Paragraphs a-k of Section 508 Paragraph 1194.22 directly maps itself to many Priority 1 items. If you add in paragraphs l-o of Section 508 you are good to go.

Unfortunately Mozilla is lacking in other areas for 508 that I've tested. Like the inability to enlarge radio buttons and checkboxes. It will enlarge the text on a form, but leave checkboxes and radio buttons tiny, only enlarging the box around them. -Adam On 6/20/05, Dave Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ctrl-mousewheel works in FF :P > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrocknaphobia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 2:03 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Section 508 Compliance > > > Kinda ironic, but it should be noted that section508.gov isn't a very > good example of 508 compliancy itself.
