Dreamweaver MX
April 29th, 2002Happy 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.
