Hi.
vallidated my pages at http://www.section508.gov and said it passed the vallidation using automatic vallidation, but got cautions from flickering and colours, and having a java script function, and not having alternative text pages, and my site is big enough.
so can you try to help me out, as trying to vallidate my pages at http://startrekcafe.stevesdomain.net/index.html
cheers Marvin.

Some people disable images to make sites load faster. I noticed that
without images your background disappears and the new background is
bright yellow which makes most of the test nearly wash out. I would
suggest a different background color so if images are not displayed the
text is more visible. I also ran the site through a colorblind filter.
I use <http://colorfilter.wickline.org/>;. Just type in the address of
your website and click fetch and filter. It will take a moment but you
can see how the page displays to colorblind individuals. Your line at
the bottom "Last updated on 15-3-2008 @ 7:41:55 [D M Y 24 Hour Clock]"
disappears. You might consider a different color. I hope this helps.

Alternately, you can check foreground/background color combinations for
legibility by feeding the color hex values into the Juicy Studio color the c

Another great color tool is Autopedia's RGB/Hex converter.

Here's what I use:

However, this does not have much to do with validation.
