Hello Michael,
Try the Opera 8.5 browser [1]. Sounds very much like the stand-alone
products and it's very simple and convenient to use. Great test tool.

I don't know what country you're in, but in the UK, HAL from Dolphin
is very popular. It's very similar to JAWS but a lot, lot
There is also Fire Vox, a free screen reader extension created by
Charles L. Chen for Firefox. It allows you to navigate from the headings
list, links list, etc. which can give you a better understanding for how
some screen readers operate apart from just reading the screen.

Greetings my friends,
I'm hoping you Mac and Linux folks would be so kind as to take a look at
this site on your system's browsers.
It validates and renders correctly on FF 1.5, Opera 8.5 and IE 6.0. The
only issue I discovered so far is a layout break when I zoom the text to

Unbelievable sizes here being one step DOWN (decreasing font size)

My god, I never tried REDUCING the font size during testing!
I tried adding some items to the #mainCol (the main column) such as
min-width, width, block display, but it still breaks on the size
reduction. Any ideas would be swell!

Is there an issue with using this for screenreaders?
Wouldn't they activate this link and nothing would happen?
Does this work effectively across browsers to scroll the page to the top
though? I've found it works on firefox, ie, opera on PC (winXP).
Thanks,

Yes and No. You can get a long way by using a subset of XHTML 1.0 Strict
and CSS. This will look pretty on modern browsers and still be usable on
old browsers http://www.tomw.net.au/2005/wd/.

It's probably worth mentioning that unless you invest a considerable

Remove the height property altogether. There's no need for it. Just
pad the a element and the li will expand.
Also, there's extra, unnecessary CSS declarations in all the a
pseudo-elements. Styling the a element by itself applies to all the
