Hi Chris, I saw that too, but what was more impactful for me was the nested divs and the js and possibly the "screen" css.
It should be fairly easy to replicate the xhtml level. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Blouch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 11:49 PM Subject: Re: An oddly inaccessible website Weird. Looking at the HTML it's all very clean and nice. It even validates with no errors on the w3c checker here: http://validator.w3.org/ Only thing a bit unusual was that its doctype declaration was XHTML Strict which is a bit unusual. Most sites that do good web standards are using XHTML Transitional which is a little more lax. They seem to have gone a bit out of their way to make this thing compliant. Maybe VO has issues with XHTML Strict pages? CB Jacob Schmude wrote: > HiGreg > Well, this is most interesting indeed. It appears at first glance that > the content area is invisible to Voiceover.
