caz -> Accessibility and Frontpage (5/26/2005 6:08:26)

I came across this tutorial recently, which was quite an eyeopener for me-
Frontpage accessibility techniques
A comprehensive tutorial showing how Frontpage 2003 can be used for creating accessible web content. To my shame I had not taken any notice of this feature in FP, instead I had spent my time in code view, ignoring the help that was readily available on the Tools>Accessibilty toolbar.
It certainly cuts coding and validity checking time, although as the tutorial mentions I still do a final check with the online validity checkers WCAG, as with I do with the (x)html and CSS.Just in case the standards may have changed.
As a bonus it also gives instruction on how to create new normal.htm templates - no more having to write my own dtd's for each page; although the snippets feature is handy for doing that, it is a little long-winded in use.
Hats off to MS, for once... See also Microsoft Accessibility site
Of course, Deamweaver makes use of the LIFT addon but Macromedia Flash users may also be interested in an article on the same site which discusses methods of making Flash more user friendly:
