Group,
It seems that the reason for advising in favour of inserting a non-
link printable character is not so much to advance the visual distinction
of links.
Apparently, if there is no text or image separating two adjacent
links, some screen readers will incorrectly read adjacent links as
a single link. However, Bobby seems to suggest that this only applies
to hypertext links (see http://bobby.cast.org/bobby/html/en/gls/g35.
html)
Is this correct? Are adjacent image-based links alright?
Regards
Frank

← Previous message | Next message →
Hello everyone:
I have just bought the book 'Constructing Accessible Web Sites', by Jim
Thatcher. I have not read much yet, but I like it.
I would like to know the opinions of people who have already read it.
Can someone tell me how it is?
Thank you very much in advance.
David (Spain, EU)

My opinion would be biased, I helped write it. Having said that, I use Jim
Thatcher's chapters on a regular basis and I use the legal chapters by
Cynthia Waddell as a legal reference.
Thank you for your kind words!
Sincerely,
Mike Burks

Dear Mister Burks:
Thank you for answering. Only Internet allows that writer and reader can
talk to each other and share opinions and experiences. For these reason,
Internet is a great invent.
I bought your book from Amazon (another great invention created around
Internet) and I have only read the chapter one. It has opened my mind about
the importance of Accessibility and the amplitude of the concept, not only
restricted to disability persons.
Actually, we are developing a Usability Web Site Service intended to be the
most complete Usability Web Site Service in Spanish language. So, we need to
read the actual state of the art. When I finish reading the book, I will
send you a more and detailed comment about the whole book.
Best regards
David Luis Gil-Esteban y Mu
