Being there are so many things to consider how do you code to compensate for everything. Or which things do you focus on or ignore? Are there stats on what readers or other usability devices are being used and by how many people and what their limitations are and differences between them? We (our webteam) have really been trying to be 508 compliant but now that just seems like not enough, or what we thought we doing correctly may not be.
I have to say this discussion is making me feel a little overwhelmed and lost. Especially since I have been searching all the 508 and accessability websites but not finding coding standards (examples). How does one go about making your website accessability friendly? What are the standards? I just want a page that lists "This is how you treat an href for the majority of readers", "This is treatment for readers A", "This treament is for readers B". I feel like everything right now is a theory. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick H.

Also worth considering that title attributes are not exposed to users browsing via the keyboard or similar device. -- Patrick H.
