Hi all,

<smile>  Now I'm beginning to get interested about this thread.

That's sort of a simplistic answer, Chris, my friend.  You're right
sort of, but there are a lot of factors that go into making a web page
accessible.  Those three tests are good, but they only test for
accessibility with screen readers.  What about zoomtext?  What about
timed links that need to be extended so that people with mobility
impairments can access them?  There's a whole lot of stuff to
consider.

As I have explained, I haven't read the thread.  I understand that
Sina wants to make some quick changes to a web site to make it
accessible until a more permanent solution can be found?  This may be
a good bandade, but will the webmaster continue to look for solutions
if a quick fix is found?  My personal preference would be to fix the
blessed page permanently from the get-go.  But, as I say, I don't know
the whole situation, and this may not be an option.  

Me thinks I'm going to sit back and read this thread to see what is
actually going on here.  

Try not to kill each other, folks.

<smile>
Ann P.
