Hi friends,
We have a webpage which need to be made accessible. The content of the
page is coming from a share point. We cannot find any inbuilt editor for
HTML(Edit in HTML mode option is missing) in the SharePoint.
Can any one of you assist me in editing the source of the SharePoint
code?
Thanks & regards
Rakesh P

While there is some editing you can do using an development tool such as SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio, it is a losing battle as some code will be generated by the SP engine and you cannot change that. I have found this to be true with most Content Management Systems. In my experience, it is a rare day when any "machine" created code will pass either html or accessibility checks.

Good afternoon Angela,
Just as an FYI, almost all markup generated by the Drupal CMS can be themed using template files and theme override functions. This is true for Drupal core, it is true to varying degrees with contributed modules.
Though it is not perfect, there are theme overrides I wish I could perform in Drupal 6 which are not possible without hacking the sourcecode of the project, it is rare that I run across these situations. However, if I really need the change, Drupal, or any other open source CMS, can be modified at the code level, because the code is open.
HTH,

It would be nice when these WCMS (Drupal is not a CMS but a WebCMS...big
difference) came accessible "out-of-the-box" without needing such
over-rides.
Without significant post-installation tweaks I would tend to agree much more
with the CMS experiences Angela has had.

Rakesh,
What specifically are you trying to make more accessible? SharePoint does
have accessibility features. If you tab into the browser window, you should
notice a link item displayed that states "Turn on more accessible mode."
(You can read more about that at Microsoft's site here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/accessibility-features-HA010173723.aspx
).
When you say the content comes from SharePoint, then what do you consider
the content? Since it is a content management system, there will be some
parts that are entered via the browser and other parts of the page will be
served from the application pages. SharePoint uses the concept of a master
page and layouts pages that would contain some of the code that produces the
final page output. You would have to be more specific in what you are trying
to achieve.
