Jim, I refer you to WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#keyboard-operation Guideline 2.1 Make all functionality operable via a keyboard or a keyboard interface. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#gl-device-independence ? 9.2 Ensure that any element that has its own interface can be operated in a device-independent manner. [Priority 2] Refer to the definition of device independence. Refer also to guideline 8. Techniques for checkpoint 9.2 9.3 For scripts, specify logical event handlers rather than device-dependent event handlers. [Priority 2] Techniques for checkpoint 9.3 (whilst Doug's code uses declarative animation rather than script these checkpoints would be relevant.) If you believe that W3 has published accessibility guidelines that support your position, please point to them. regards Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility On 5 Dec 2004, at 20:36, Jim Ley wrote: "Jonathan Chetwynd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >If you read the bug report which I drew your attention to it mentions >UAG: >http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/guidelines.html#gl-device-independence > >specifically the first guideline makes it clear, that if you choose to >render a tooltip this should be device independent. >It could not be much clearer.

Doug is an author, he doesn't have any reason to follow the _User Agent_ authoring guidelines, authors are free to do whatever they like, giving extra functionality to any users they like, there's nothing inaccessible about it.
