I don't think those little icons/buttons are enough, though. I think an "About this site" page with accessibility features, explanation of standards compliance, etc. is a lot better, since it explains the quality of the code rather than just sending visitors to some cryptic validation page. Even then, though, I wonder if clients or users read that kind of stuff. I'm having a hard time putting myself in their shoes on this one. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
