Terrence, Many thanks for the comments.
1) We shall change the order the links to put the "Skip to content" link consistent across the templates. Should "Home" and "Skip to content" be the two first links? 2) We are going to modify the 2 column layout to use div only. Thanks for mentioning it. 3) We shall be more cautious about the claim of WCAG indeed. You're totally right on this. Thanks for spotting it. Do you mind if we use a somewhat close statement as Project Seven's?

Hi Pat, a couple of points: 1) In one of your templates your skip nav link is the second to last link in your navigation, which kind of defeats the purpose of including it. 2) In another you don't have skip links at all. Most browser don't have a built in way to skip blocks of content so we must build it ourselves. 3) In another you have used tables for a simple two column layout, which seems odd in this day and age (and in this forum). Please no table v. div wars, read the archives instead ;-) 4) Please be wary of claiming your templates are triple A compliant. This type of claim may be misleading because WCAG/S508 compliance is dependant on content, over which you have no control. See PVII (hi Al ;-)) for a great way to describe compliance with accessibility standards for template/component systems: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm/index.htm kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
