Hi all,
I've been lurking here for a while, but as there were a couple
of items in the last digest that struck a cord with me I
thought it was time to de-lurk... :)
On THs and IDs, my understanding of the limitation of the
latter is that only the most modern screenreaders implement
them, and hence the majority of users with older versions won't
benefit from the ID information. In which case it needs to be
considered whether the table can be simplified to not require
IDs.
On the Sitemorse testing, I'd tend to take that with a pinch of
salt and use Bobby instead -

Limited quoting of previous quotes below for some context -
apologies to those like me that read this in digest form...

It *has* been suggested in the very first reply to this thread.

Mmmm...interesting item, and an unfortunate response from some
disability advocates, it would seem.
But I don't seem to be able to test a site using SiteMorse's "QuickTest"
testing tool, and so it's hard to comment at this point. I think I
recall seeing this SiteMorse tester before and balking at the
requirement to register/provide email address for what presents itself
as a free, quick online test. Does anyone have experience actually
using their tools?
Phil.
