Hi Kevin
One option is to use VirtualBox (virtualbox.org) which is virtualisation
software written in Qt. Looks to have Mac OSX host capabilities
(http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewforum.php?f=8)
I use the open source edition in KDE and run all the Windows browsers in an XP
guest for testing.
Agreed thanks,
I don't know much about JavaScript, but is there really a way to make
sure that you get all users?

I actually found a nice image-enabled testing script which works well:
http://webgeekblog.com/2007/04/15/unobtrusive-javascript-for-detecting-whether-images-are-enabled-or-not/
I tried using the onload even, but that will still go off even if images
are disabled.

You could make the javascript trigger on the image onload events. Though, I
think some older version of Opera, v8 or 7.54, doesn't support the onLoad
event for images.

That script has two flaws that reduce it's user base:
1) As said many times now, Javascript+CSS-Images = unusable
2) The imaged version doesn't work in Safari. In Safari, it shows up as
the default (to me, this isn't acceptable). Also, if anyone isn't aware,
Safari is the major browser for Mac
In this particular case, the script will fail and fall back to the
default look of the radio and check boxes if either Javascript or CSS is
missing, which is good. The only problem in this case is if Javascript
and CSS -are- available, but images are not. In that case, it becomes
100%
I haven't tested on many screen readers, but from what I understand,
most have CSS disabled, so it would read this as a regular form.
However, there is the possibility that someone uses a regular browser
with screen reading technology (just like what you could use to read a
document in Word).
Thanks for the emails. Some things I didn't think of but will from now
on. I have been doing some reading and looking at options and found this
example.

What are your thoughts on this approach?
To me it looks pretty user friendly.
Please let me know
That isn't bad, but if you have Javascript and CSS, but no images, it
fails completely.

What are the chances of that happening? I would think it would be very
slim wouldn't it?
You'd be surprised... I know a few dialup users who browse with images
disabled to speed up loading times but leave CSS and JavaScript on so that
the presentation and any enhanced functionality is still

From all of the examples that I have seen this is the one that
accommodates most users.
How would a screen reader read this option? Has any one tested something
similar to the example that I found?
Thanks
Had a terrible time on my Intel MacBook with Parallels Desktop; it refused to play nice with OS X Leopard. Wouldn't even install properly. Switched to VMware Fusion, and haven't had a problem since.

Most mobile phones won't use Javascript or CSS either. And the usage of
handheld devices is rapidly increasing. So is other gadgets. Nintendo DS for
instance. We can't assume that only browser applications is used to access
our webpages.
