[css-d] New Image Replacement Method
Hi everyone, A few years back, I developed an image replacement method that I hope works in almost all situations. Going off Dave Shea's page (http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/), a good image replacement method will work with screen readers, work with 'images off, CSS on', not use empty tags and work with most browsers. I believe my method does all this, but without having screen reading software or multiple browsers and platforms to test on, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind testing this method for me. Two slightly different methods can be found here: http://people.aapt.net.au/~joian/ir/test1.html http://people.aapt.net.au/~joian/ir/test2.html Please test these pages with different settings (images, CSS, JavaScript - on/off) and let me know how it goes. I'd be very interested in hearing suggestions for making it better, etc. My method may not work well (if at all), but this is what I'm trying to test. I'd very much like to be able to come up with a good, solid image replacement method that works for everyone in all situations - and I'll need your help to do it. Thank you very much!

Re: [css-d] New Image Replacement Method
Thanks Russell, I think JavaScript also has to be disabled for this to happen, but I'd guess that with more and more people using CSS, those with it disabled or unavailable would be used to seeing pages looking a little odd... I believe other methods had nothing appear when CSS, JavaScript or images were disabled, so I think it's better to have two headings than none. But it'd still be nice to fix this if anyone has any ideas. Also looking for feedback regarding how it works (or doesn't) on other browsers and screen readers. Thanks!

Re: [css-d] Multiple Explorers - how to get IE 6 files?
Hi Allison, I too had this problem recently, wanting to test sites in both IE7 and IE6. There are a lot of websites out there that will say you can do it, using modified versions of IE6, but these don't always work as required, crash a lot, etc. The best way I found was to download the free version of Virtual PC 2007, and a free image of WinXP with IE6 preinstalled that Microsoft are letting you use until the end of March. This way, you can share your website folder between the two and test websites in IE6 and 7 without errors. This page explains what to do: http://tinyurl.com/yjsnb6 Here's the VPC free download: http://tinyurl.com/287fx8 Here's the WinXP/IE6 image: http://tinyurl.com/theg4 Hope this helps!
