Hi,

I came accross this today and was wondering what you guys would make of
it.


<form name="newpage" method="post" action="/admin_access/">

<ul>
<li>
<div class="wlh2">Member Login</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0px"
border="0">
<tr> <td valign="top" width="120">First Name:</td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text"
maxlength="255" name="admin_part1" /><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr> <td valign="top" width="120">Last Name:</td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text"
maxlength="255" name="admin_part2" /><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr> <td valign="top">Password:</td>
<td valign="top"><input type="password"
name="admin_part3" /><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr> <td valign="top"></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="submit"
name="submit" value="login" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
</ul>
</form>

well that looks just plain silly - using a list for 1 table. No
<label> elements either.

I have used list in forms - quite useful for a list of checkboxes.

Why is it necessary to use a list?

Geof,

I believe putting the form inside a list was to get the indentation.

The site is administered by a friend of mine, I was asked some time back
to check it for accessibility. Among other comments I got back from the
developer was this "I have an intimate knowledge of accessibility......"

I should have given the url in my original post, it contains some other
"interesting" pieces of code and some fundamental errors in accessibility.

Hi Rob

Intimate knowledge? Perhaps actual knowledge would be better. :O)

cheers
