Re: [WSG] Title attribute
Let me see if I am understanding correctly. The Title attribute is not needed any more. As long as links are in simple language and their is a description of a photo and/or graphic on the side or top and bottom.

[WSG] Title attribute
I was wondering how valuible th Title attribute is. I just visited http://www.google.com/analytics/ and see they do not use a href= title=/a and the new code I uploaded for an international nonprofit. Apperantly this code I uploaded is HTML and cSS valid. I was taught to do a href= title=/a.

Re: [WSG] Title attribute
Jens I found that, contrary to what I believed previously, this is not required for assistive technologies, ie. screenreaders. They usually pick up the anchor text well. Anchor text? What is anchor text? I thought the Title attribute was the anchor text.

Re: [WSG] Firefox and IE font sizes
James
Thank you for your help. I have been going through what you suggested. I am not
familular with JAVAScript, since I have heard problem stories (mainly screen
readers and folks turning JAVA off) and seen bad implementations. I turned my
focus to PHP. I am a newbie to all of this. I have been working on the
following.
HTML
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=screen title=Default Font size
href=/css/layout.css /
link rel=alternate stylesheet type=text/css media=screen title=Increase
Font Size href=/css/layout_large.css /
link rel=alternate stylesheet type=text/css media=screen title=Decrease
Font Size href=/css/layout_small.css /
?php
$set = $_GET['set'];
$fmt = 'a classß=switch href=/switcher.php?set=layout_%s%s Font
Size/a';
printf($fmt, medium, Default Font Size);
printf($fmt, large, Increase Font Size);
printf($fmt, small, Decrease Font Size);
?
switcher.php
?php
setcookie ('sitestyle', $set, time()+31536000, '/',
'http://www.choroideremia.org', '0');
header(Location: $HTTP_REFERER);
?
The PHP does not seem to be working. I am not sure why. I am also confused why
putting http:ééwww.choroideremia.orgé at the top of my HTML, my code is
suddenly not valid.

[WSG] Firefox and IE font sizes
At http://www.choroideremia.org/new/crf_header.php I have three buttons. The first is Decrease font size the second is ?Default font size. And the third is Increase font size:. Firefox 3.0.1 shows them in 15 point Arial font which I would say is good to default to. However, IE7 will show the in 21 point Arial. I would say IE7's font choice is to large. How do I get Fire fox and IE to both display 15 point Arial?

Re: [WSG] Is RTF accessible?
This topic is very interesting. As a screen reader user I have enjoyed always getting Rich Text files. I use to get bills in HTML which was great. However, everything is now PDFs. I hate PDFs! With a little more care, you could do everything a PDF does in an HTML file. I use a RTF editor called Jarte (http://www.jarte.com) with conversion packs I downloaded from Microsoft. My Jarte word Processor can now read everything from Word 97 to Word 2007. I am not a lover of Word and do not have it installed on ny PC. Besides being a resource hog Word takes over everything and has ties to everything on the PC. I do not know what is worse, Word or a virus.

$visits++;

}
else
{
$oFile = fopen($vCounter, w);
$visits = 1;
fwrite($oFile, $visits);
fclose($oFile);
}
echo As of December 22, 2005 you are visitor number $visits to
