Hi everyone,

Have a few questions on the finer details of the WCAG:

1. Is there a way to combine <LABEL> with <TEXTAREA>?

For example, I have:

<p class="blocktext"><form method="POST" > <LABEL for="firstname">First
name&nbsp;<input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></LABEL>
</FORM>

and I want to include default text. How do I do that?

2. Some of my hyperlinks are urls for those who print out the page. For
those using screen readers, would TITLE be beneficial here?

3. In the html version of the Simplified Web Accessibility Guide, which goes
live soon, I have some hyperlinks for purely illustrative purposes. Would
TITLE be beneficial here too?

4. I created a complex table using headers which I thought should make sense
for screen readers, but when I lynx it, it is totally garbled. The table is
temporarily at http://www.eaglecom.bc.ca/Guide/appendix.htm. Any
suggestions?

And if anyone has tasteful check mark graphic I could use on the table....

Looking forward to hearing any suggestions anyone has.

Cheers,
Glenda
