I've encountered this problem a lot, particularly with web applications released by major vendors... the way I'd characterise the problem is that *human validation* is the only reliable method for evaluating standards and accessibility. Many pages will pass an *automated* check, but no automated check that I know of can detect an incorrectly used BLOCKQUOTE or a jibberish ALT attribute. Sadly even searching along those lines doesn't turn up much which directly addresses the issue. Plenty of references to the problem, nothing concrete. h -- --- <http://cheshrkat.blogspot.com/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
