Thanks seona and josh, ".....although when they say "accessibility" they are probably thinking of screen readers and users who can't use a mouse, accessibility also includes being able to access the information and basic functionality of a site in numerous browsing devices."
yes thats the case "Besides, since I'm assuming you'll be developing with standards in mind, it may as well be going into something that's standard. :)" -thats a key point, i design with standards in mind but they've been slicing my ai files into a tables and calling it a day. I am meeting with them this week to talk about this. I will try and talk the programmers into transitioning to standards but i dont know if i will be able to sell them on it. I was going to try the angle that web standards are helpful/essential for accessability-which they get alot of requests for these days. The programmers dont want me to do any coding or as little as possible-so as not to step on thier toes. thanks ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
