[WSG] Web accessibility research
Dear Sir/Madam, I am a university student studying for a BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Malta. I am currently involved in a study, as part of my dissertation, to explore the challenges that exist in Web accessibility for people with dissabilities and to investigate the best system that would suit their needs. This has made it necessary to conduct a survey. This survey is for people who use assistive technologies to access the Web. If you know someone who is willing to participate in this survey please forward them the link below http://www.webaccessibilityresearch.com/ Their answers are very important to the accuracy of my study. The information will be used to help me assess their needs and preferences for accessing the Web and for me to develop better, more useful solutions to address those needs. Their responses will be treated in the strictest confidence and their anonymity is guaranteed. The results of this survey will be used solely in connection to my study. Thank you for your time and assistance.

[WSG] how reliable is it to use IE8 compatible mode to test IE7/6
Anybody use IE8 compatible mode to test IE7/6 instead of standalone version? There is an incentive for me to test older versions in compatible mode because I can use Developer Tools, so I am curious how reliable it is, I meant if problem I see in IE8 compatible mode is identical to IE7 or IE6 and once I have it fixed and it shows correctly in compatible mode I don't need to double check on IE7/6 standalone to double confirm. Thanks! tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Re: [WSG] how reliable is it to use IE8 compatible mode to test IE7/6
Anybody use IE8 compatible mode to test IE7/6 instead of standalone version? It doesn't cover IE6; and IE8-as-IE7 is not 100% the same as IE7 - http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/03/12/site-compatibility-and-ie8.aspx- so you would still need to double-check standalone IE7 anyway to be sure. Personally I use Virtual PC for testing extra versions of IE. cheers Ben -- --- http://weblog.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] how reliable is it to use IE8 compatible mode to test IE7/6
Thanks Ben for the link, I am going to read it later. It doesn't cover IE6; This is strange. Wasn't that the whole Compatible Mode was to not break the web because of the massive IE6 users in corporate world? tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

MS's position, near as I can tell, is that they don't want to break the web *with IE8, for people already running IE7 or IE7-only web services*. They recommend people upgrade anything requires IE6; and upgrade any user with IE6 on their machine. cheers, Ben -- --- http://weblog.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
