Re: vague question (Charles Reitzel) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: "Austin, Darrel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 12:12:00 -0500 Subject: [cms-list] Magazine Recommendation I just received an issue of CM Focus, a london based publication for content management professionals: http://www.ark-group.com/publications/cmf.asp It looks to be a very nice publication with lots of good testimonials and first-hand-experiences regarding various CMS issues. And, it also has a very elegant visual design to it. The cost seems a bit prohibitive for some ($425 for 10 issues!) but for those with the budget, I'd recommend you take a look at it. (I am in no way affiliated with this magazine, just thought it was worthy of mentioning to others) -Darrel --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 13:32:44 -0400 To: "John Morse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Charles Reitzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [cms-list] vague question Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some folks from The University of Toronto Adaptive Technology Resource Center contributed a module to HTML Tidy that performs accessibility checking on HTML content. These checks are specified by the W3C Accessibility Initiative (WAI). This is part of their A Prompt accessibility toolkit. I have worked on the code some and, AFAI can tell, the checks are most for the blind and for folks who must use alternate input devices. FWIW, we have received a bit of feedback from an actual blind person telling us that the accessibility requirements of HTML 4/WAI were actually counter productive. Modern screen readers are able to bypass all the layout cruft, but table summaries and image alternates are still read to the user and, thus, disrupt the content. Bottom line, you still need to test your pages for usability with disabled users. take it easy, Charles Reitzel Adapative Technology Resource Center: http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/ A-Prompt Toolkit: http://www.aprompt.ca/ HTML Tidy: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ At 10:26 AM 10/23/2002 +0100, John Morse wrote:
