Thanks Jeanne;
I've been working with Section 508 a little, but I'm looking for specifics
on CF tags like CFGrid mostly. It's an applet and I don't know if the
screen readers can read that applet. So I guess my question is,.... are CF
tags Section 508 compliant? Which ones are not? I searched the Allaire
site and found nothing on tags and compliance. I'm now working on an
application that uses CFGrid extensively (for a government client). I want
to know if we need to offer an alternative (or change the CFGrid to
something else) or if they are ok to leave in the application. Since
government applications are supposed to be compliant by June 21st, I need to
find out if we need to extend the pilot date so we can make this change, or
if it is compliant we can stay on schedule. Any advice on cftag compliance
is welcome! (I've already almost memorized the w3c accessibility so I only
need cftag assistance).
Thanks again Jeanne. That article is pretty much a repeat of the w3c
recommendations tho.
