[WSG] Can't select text on IE
Title: Can't select text on IE Hi, I have written an html page based on CSS layout. The page has a parent div tag which contains many other div tags including one for Side Menu, one for Masthead and one for the Content. The problem: Using IE6, I am unable to select a part of the text from the content area. When I try to select a para or a line, all the text on the page within the parent div tag including the side menu bar get selected. Does anyone have any suggestions about this problem ?

[WSG] Table width in Firefox - Strange problem
Hi,
I have reproduced below the code of a simple html document. The table in
the document doesn't show up properly in Firefox 1.0.7. The Caption
totally ignores the specified width of the table extends to the full
width of the page.
With some other CSS, the whole table extends to the full width of the
page.
It works perfectly in IE6.
Can anyone offer any help ?
Thanks
Bhuvnesh Chaudhry

[WSG] Embeded video?

[WSG] Graph descriptions: Summary, details or both
Hello list, I have been providing [D] links to the descriptions for the graphs on my website. However, the descriptions are basically limited to summaries of the graphs, telling about the axis, type of data plotted and the important trends or may be a couple of figures. Now, I am not sure whether a summary is enough or the descriptions should also detail the underlying data. Its easy for a normal reader to either study a graph in detail or just give it a quick glance to get an idea about, say, the trend. How are we supposed to make it equally easy for people with visual disabilities ? Should we have two [D] links - one taking to the summary and the other to the detailed analysis of the graph so that the user can decide his option ? Any ideas and/or examples would be appreciated ?

RE: [WSG] PDF to HTML conversions
There are a few tools and some suggestions to make PDF documents accessible but do you think there is one solution/process/tool which can actually convert a typical PDF file containing 2 column text flow a few graphs a couple of tables and a few images into a usable (not only accessible) document for the web?

I've tested this code in Opera 7.5, MSIE 6, Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox 0.8. It worked
only in Opera, where it displayed both the regular 1 and the (a) like this:
1. (a) This is the first item.
2. (b) This is the second item.
3. (c) This is the third item.
(you'd need to set the ol's list-style to none, to suppress the numbers)
The others just showed a numbered list:
1. This is the first item.
2. This is the second item.
3. This is the third item.
Perhaps others have experimented with this and found a way for it to work in other
