First of all, this is off-topic and much more suitable for the webaim.org list. Secondly, the requirement is that adjacent links are to be separated by more than whitespace. This is mainly because of old screen readers not being able to separate adjacent links properly (the guidelines were written in 1999!), and also because visully impaired visitors might have trouble distinguishing them. The latter only applies to text links, and shows how daft ANY automatic testing for accessibility is - in your case it is easy to distinguish. I wonder though why you didn't just use lists for these banners ? Thirdly AAA means you have ensured that you did all to make it easy for visitors to use your site, and did you? Did you ask possible users with disabilities, or did you test the page with assistive technology? AAA is a big commitment. Actually with today's crummy browser support (and WAI-1 being somewhat theoretical), AAA is almost impossible to achieve technically and create something usable. And last but not least don't get too hung up on technicalilities in the markup. It is easy to see the genuinely blind as the most important group - after all their requirements make us change the markup - but accessibility goes further. For example it is impossible on your site now to find the navigation. What is internal, where can I go and what will take me someplace else? Lucky me, with Firefox none of the Javascript resizing you apply worked, something that is a big no-no when it comes to accessibility. The browser is there for the visitor, and its settings do fit her needs, don't mess with that. Accessibility starts in the mind, it means you don't block anybody out. Displaying the WAI buttons and a disclaimer like yours on the same page (the one that is too small to read for a lot of users) is nothing but a slap in the face for people who take the whole business serious. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
