Hi Justin Martin!
Sorry about the previous post, it should have been addressed to Martin not to
Justin, but it may be interesting for anyone who is thinking of buying the Bobby CD.
Guess it's just too early here in the UK.
Apologies again, JG

Sorry if this is such a dumb question that it displays more of my ignorance
than anything else, but this is the second time in the last few weeks I've
heard references to Bobby, but
Who the hell is Bobby? And what does he have to do with us?

Hi Michael, hope this helps you.
Bobby will allow you to test web pages and help expose and repair barriers to
accessibility and encourage compliance with existing accessibility guidelines, such as
Section 508 and the W3C's WCAG.

Hi Mike,
Bobby is an accessibility checker with a huge chip on it's shoulder.

In my opinion it supposes too much and is basically a self righteous piece
of rubbish.
Take www.gt.nsw.gov.au for example.
Michael,
There are other accessibility tools that have better reputations than Bobby
now. Bobby has received growing criticism over the last few years - here is
an example:

I was finding it bit daunting, since the site I am re-coding is based
on ASP.NET, and as I am sure many of you know... Microsoft + ASP.NET +
web = 666. The client doesn't really know what they want from the
Hi Martin,
I'm not familiar with this at all. How much of this example would be
auto-generated? One would assume that a lot of it could be fixed by putting
things in the right place (scripts in the head section and adding a
doctype).

Regarding accreditation, I reckon the best place to start is the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI) which produces (amongst other things) Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines.
These guidelines have include the all-important checkpoints that are broken
into three priorities. Ideally, web

Unfortunately, there at two factors I'm at the moment which I am up
against.
1) I have little knowledge of ASP(.NET) and even if I did, it's not my

are)... and 2) They use Visual Studio .NET to produce their code. This

Those are some good links. Thanks for sharing.
Inormally use"Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif". Seems likeVerdana is the preferredchoice here butI feel that Arial is easier to read because it is not as spread out. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nate,
The term Colour blindness is now frowned on. Apparently colour
deficiency is the more correct term - for what it's worth. :)
Anyway, there are basically three types of colour deficiency. They are:
1. Deuteranope (a form of red/green colour deficit)
2. Protanope (another form of red/green
Hey WSG,
I have a very odd problem...
On my website: www.neester.com
I have a menu on the left, and the content on the right...
The content passes the menu, but the menu "dents" the content.
No matter how far I push the content away from the menu.
eg:
I set the contents margin-left: 100px
Is the indent 3 pixels wide? If so, it may be the 3 pixel text jog bug:

ways to work around the problem without hacks of any sort. On method would

I, too, was surprised at the 'forcefulness' of some of the feedback. I
would be interested to know whether they could come anywhere close to

Hi Jaime,
Yes it's very important. Many differently-abled people don't use a mouse.
They use the keyboard to navigate around a page/site (generally much faster
and more efficiently than any mouse user). By using onclick or onmousedown
etc. you may be blocking their access to whatever the resource
