Dreamweaver MX

April 29th, 2002

Happy birthday to the damn fine Heather Champ.

The good people at Web Accessibility in Mind have created this wonderful How to Create Accessible Forms tutorial. It demonstrates a few common form accessibility problems, and shows how to fix them. Lessons include grouping radio buttons and checkboxes in a <fields> tag, and providing a title for each field set using the <legend> tag. Especially valuable is the audio demonstration of a screen reader working through a badly implemented form. If you ever have to convince colleagues of the importance of accessibility, a little audio demo goes a long way.

The Dreamweaver MX Preview Release is out today. Coverage of that and Rachel Andrew’s new Dreamweaver generated XHTML/CSS layouts awaits at Zeldman.
