Stan, you bring up a VERY important point that none of us has addressed in the past two days of posts. Flash may be a flagship product for MM, however to disallow the user from using their own preferences in viewing what is purely a TEXT based content system doesn't make any more sense than any of the other issues we've been addressing that are the direct result of some designer's idea of a pretty interface. Accessability really is the issue here from ALL angles in regard to just about every single request posted in these two days. Vision impairment is by far the most serious of course when it comes down to it! Can you imagine having the descriptive paragraph fill left to right, at a BIGGER font if you wished? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
