Hello,=20
How would you Handel "Sample of forms" of static content in an accessible =
way?=20
"Sample of forms" on static page are visual forms that do not require =
interaction with user is required e.g. fill or submit form).=20
=20
Some of the ideas in my mind:=20
- Use form input field (however, should this be read-only?)
- Use an image with input field look=20
- Use an image with background having input field look...=20
=20
Looking forwards for some thoughts,
Rabab

it all depends what the point the page or having the form on the page. If
the page says "you will receive form 4128 in the mail", it may be useful
to have a screenshot to show people what it will look like.

And if you did a screen shot, it would be helpful if you described
it, such that someone who can't see it would have all of the same
info conveyed via text.
I'd personally vote for a "mock" form that had read-only edit boxes
with proper labels, disabled but existing radio buttons/checkboxes,
and so forth.
I've seen forms presented like this, though I can't recall a
source-example off-hand.
Wouldn't the real form, but with controls disabled, be the easiest
"one size fits all" approach?

Agree ... a mock form with labels for input would be fast to create and replicate a true form ... and be perceivable by some form of AT.

That would be ideal. I can see situations where the people putting up the
example may not actually be developers or able to create such a form, in
which case a image with text might be needed instead.
