I haven't used the Accessibility kit (aks) but I have heard Andrew Connell discuss this kit a sample box, not a turn key solution. This would be the first place I would investigate. It provides a number of samples/examples in creating accessible web parts, master pages, sites definitions, custom controls, etc...
Lots of OOTB controls render out tables and break XHTML compliant guidelines. The accessibility kit overcomes this process by implementing control adapters (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/67276kc5.aspx) so you can manage the html output. http://markharrison.co.uk/blog/2008/03/aks-v2-accessibility-kit-for-shar epoint.htm http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/ WebPartZones are a real problem in that also render out tables. The aks didn't provide a solution to this so the following post might be helpful. http://blog.sharepoint.ch/2007/12/webpartzone-adapter.html The MOSS OOTB editor still doesn't produce XHTML compliant markup so you will need to use Telerik's editor or HiSoftware's (they built aks) Accessible Rich Text Editor. They have a free version which has the same functionality as the OOTB editor but also supports multiple browsers and accessibility. http://www.telerik.com/community/free-products.aspx - Download here You may not even want to download core.js in your WCM Internet site. This is because you may not ever edit content directly on your production site. You may edit content on your staging farm which is on an internal network that publishes content to your production farm in a external DMZ network. If this is the case then you don't need to include core.js in your production farm. Funny thing is when I tried to search on codeplex for the aks nothing displayed...it used to be there??? Maybe you can only download it now from HiSoftware http://aks.hisoftware.com/index.html Cheers Clayton From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tommy Segoro Sent: Saturday, 15 November 2008 12:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] SharePoint 2007 Accessibility? And also web-parts never produce XHTML validated source. With WCM though you have the option to hide CORE.JS for performance improvement but as soon as you hide CORE.JS, all Sharepoint OOTB controls that require javascript (eg. Web-parts, site actions menu) won't work. The work around for this is to make CORE.JS available on Edit mode (ie. When admin edits the page). You can do some smarts there using EditModePanel.
