<cite> # Another thing with the IMAGE tag. Do we really need LONGDESC tag, i.e.LONG DESCRIPTION? Can't the screen reader already know the length of the description in the first place before reading it? Just have the screen reader have a default number of words to read in the first place and ask the user if they want to continue reading or tell them that it's so many words long and then ask them a question whether to read through it. </cite> <cite> Screen readers think they are SMART by just reading the Heading tags first e.g. <H1>. However, web designers and developers rarely use <H1> or header tags anyway. What screen readers should do is automatically read text that is BIGGER than the text below it or around it. How hard could that be to program? Not hard at all. Just have have the screen reader do a text size comparison just like the browser does. If this text is much bigger than the surrounding text, then that's what the screen reader should be reading first as the header </cite> This guy is either joking or very close to insanity :) I mean one thing is as reasoned argument pro layout tables and other is a nonsensical rant full of non-sequiturs. -- Manuel trabaja para Simplel�gica, construcci�n web (+34) 985 22 12 65 http://simplelogica.net escribe en Logicola http://simplelogica.net/logicola/ ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
