Hello,
Accessibility to web sites is becoming an issue here in Sweden, as well as in many other countries. Independent organizations test and rate sites, in an effort to put pressure on site owners to improve accessibility to their sites, which might be a good idea, particularly when talking about organizations aimed a large or wide audience.
Even though we do not wholeheartedly subscribe some of the issues put forward in the name of accessibility (we do not for example print brochures in extra large print for the sight impaired, while we have easy access to our offices for wheelchairs), we still want to explore what is possible, without going overboard.
Expandable font-size (Ctrl+Scroll wheel) is one issue. We have tested this in a mock-up page (without working hyperlinks) located at http://northerncruiser.com. This site is a spare site of ours, and has absolutely no connection whatsoever to the actual content, it only used for testing purposes.
My questions:
1.. Is it possible in FP 2003 to assign "underscore" keyboard shortcuts to character hyperlinks on a web page produced with FP (accessible through Alt plus a character)?
Just like in the FrontPage (and other Office applications) menus; Alt+F (File menu), Alt+T (Tools menu), where the "F" and "T", respectively, are underscored.
2.. Is it a good idea to have scalable fonts on a site?
It really messes up the layout and is rather unpredictable. Few sites have scalable fonts (and some have it implemented by mistake), and is there really a demand for it? And, how do you control vertical movement of areas that should not be scalable?
3.. Is it possible to scale images at the same time as you scale text (Ctrl+Scroll)?
4.. How do you enable tabbing (by Tab key), and how do you control tab order between navigation hyperlinks?
I would be grateful for any ideas and/or suggestion regarding this issue, or references to sites discussing it.
Best regards,
