The whole thing started when they wanted the red asterisk to stick out from the text on phone number. Underneath the phone number is the fax number which is not required. When I made a one space before the "f" of fax number the "p" of phone number was not right above the "f" of fax number. I made it a little better by changing my one space to two spaces. My section 508 coordinator who knows a lot about html said for proper alignment I could use CSS. I don't know CSS yet. I have been taken off this assignment because they didn't have a sighted person to assist me in looking at the page. I am writing JSP code which is then rendered into html. Isn't CSS only used for making things pretty? Should I be learning it and if so why?
