Hi all,

Are there any browser-based rich text editors (wysiwyg) such as you find or
creating and editting content in a CMS
that is accessible? Especially to a screen reader? I'd like to find
an example of a Section 508 or WCAG 1.0 compliant one, however I
don't know that one exists. Any suggestions on this or what
adaptations could be made to make a typical one more accessible?
Thanks.

Just a quick heads up - this list has a lot of subscribers that _are_
blind. Emails without a subject are really rude towards them and you
are not likely to get first-hand information. Would you like to load
and listen to an email you cannot fathom what it is about beforehand?

I've used FCKEditor, which produces very clean markup if you set it up
right.
Right now I'm fighting with it to stop breaking the back button when the
widget loads, but other wise it has been great.
I do not, however, have any information on how accessibile the thing itself
is to use.

Making content accessible is very much a human task rather than an
editor itself, however, out of all the editors, I must say Xstandard
comes the closest in terms of making ideal semantic markup and
facilitating accessibility ehancements to the content.

Is it, itself, accessible? I'm not sure...but since it isn't javascript
based (as most are) it may have an advantage in that department.

FYI this email was sent to the list by mistake and prematurely to
boot. Sorry if it sounded rude, I explained the rationale in a private
mail.

I am curious as to what your response would be if the user you so quickly
criticized was a screen reader user?

Sincerely,

Greetings WebAim List,

I am asking this list because accessibility is of major concern and this is proving difficult to resolve alone.

I am in need of recommendations for an accessible and secure Web password management system. Some directory protection methods (for Linux, Apache Web servers) are incomplete with no means for lost/forgotten password retrieval, defined groups, hacking attempts, statistics, etc. (e.g. htaccess), and/or do not support W3C form coding standards.

Anyone have any mentionable password protection packages (available for Linux/Apache server) they would share on or off list?

Responses are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mac

PS. Is there a better list to ask than this? (There couldn't be, could there?)
