As with my early, half-finished experimentation http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/57/ the underlying markup is a clean, structured table. This particular chart does use images, but they have a null ALT attribute. So, in all, this will work like any other data table as far as screenreader users are concerned. -- Patrick H.

[WSG] accessible bar charts
I was wondering if you anyone had tried the Standards Schmandards technique on making accessible bar charts. http://www.standards-schmandards.com/index.php?2005/02/06/14- accessible-bar-chart I am intrigued by the idea and wondered what people thought. I'd be interested in getting a reaction from a screen reader user. Sincerely, Justin Justin Thorp Principal; Web Developer Accessibility Specialist MyCapitalWeb.com LLC 3016 S.

Re: [WSG] accessible bar charts
I've created stacked bar charts (vertical and horizontal) in CSS without images. Entirely visual using empty divs. Also provided is a plain text description of the chart for visual and non-visual users (which we all are). Unfortunately they are behind a login so can't show you any code but quite easy to create with floated blocks etc. Cheers James On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 21:58:52 -0500, Justin Thorp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering if you anyone had tried the Standards Schmandards technique on making accessible bar charts. http://www.standards-schmandards.com/index.php?2005/02/06/14- accessible-bar-chart I am intrigued by the idea and wondered what people thought.
