RE: ins underline accessibility (was Re: [WSG] Visited Link Sty ling)

[Drake, Ted C.]

Hi Jan

It's funny you mentioned this. I just noticed the underline in an inserted
comment on my blog and thought, well, let's expand on the visited link idea.

I just added this to my blog:

ins {display:block; text-decoration:none; margin:5px 0;}
ins:before {
color: #039;
font-weight: normal;
content: looky - new info from ted:;  

}

* html ins {border-top:1px solid #039;}

I added the border on the top for IE to make it stand out from the text.
You can see the result at www.tdrake.net

 that the link was deactivated when it has a strike through

Russ, it's an OT in this thread, but it is connected with this - not 
with del, but with ins -- is the underline accessible? You know, 
it's widely spread that only links should have the underline, but I 
noticed it just few days ago that browsers use underlining for inserted 
text by default. Is this alright?

Sure, Ted, the solution is pretty obvious, I've tested light background 
for highlighting, and it works as intended aswell.


I was only interested in the accessibility issue of the default behavior 
- it seems a bit contra-productive for me.
