Some of the other banks have also done this (Nationwide for example) but Barclays has now got a rather extensive Accessibility section: http://www.barclays.co.uk/accessibility/using_internet.htm It's a bit of a shame that the page I tested has a priority 2 failure due to a lack of an alt tag - it appears to be on a dynamically generated dohickey down the bottom of the page. Still - their accessibility page is worth looking at to ermm... borrow ideas from! _____________________________ "My strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it" Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Blood, Sweat & Rust - A Land Rover restoration project

Now if I could only persuade the Co-operative who've I've a business account with to do something about their appalling online banking system, I'd indeed be a happy womble! _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to Tailslide)

Sites are beginning to pop up with accessibility. Other half pointed out the Hollyoaks web site with compliance stuff on it. That's new. BTW discovered the other day that it's also law in the UK for all e-commerce sites to have a Privacy Policy and Terms & Conds. I knew it was advisable but never realised it was law. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to Donkey)

Hhmmm, interesting, I can imagine that's going to affect a lot of sites (though half of them probably don't realise it's the law) _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to jaybee)
