The following page meets 508 and Bobby AAA requirements.

http://www.hiking.onlinecommunity.com/login.asp

However, I have a question about one of the Level AAA
requirements concerning default text in form controls. How do you
handle thing for login pages where passwords show up as *****?
Also, what happens if the user has javascript disabled? I am using
Javascript to remove the default text when the control has focus.

any comments?
