Accessible, standards based slideshow - 2/26/2006 4:11:38   
Hi

I came across this Beta yesterday and thought I'd pass it on to you.

It's another Slideshow creator.

So what's different about it - well it's standards compliant, accessible and doesn't rely on client-side scripting to work.

If the user has Javascript switched on then the slideshow will use that. If Javascript is switched off then it reverts to server-side scripting and PHP.

It's been manually checked against the WCAG and Conforms to all Priority 2 and most of Priority 3 checkpoints.

It's valid XHTML 1.0 strict.

As part of building the slideshow it creates a favicon for each slideshow and an RSS feed.

Cool eh?

It's still in Beta currently but might be useful for anyone who needs it right this minute - you can put your name down to be informed of the actual release.

Slightly off-topic, but they also have a lovely looking valid, accessible search/sitemap on there as well - worth a look at!

Thanks Womble for solving this great mystery that has bugged me for the past 10 minutes since receiving an email about something called Scooch. I don't click many links in emails that I don't know who the people are emailing me, this one was addressed to both my first and surname and came to an email address rarely used for that sort of thing. So now the mystery is solved, thanks for solving it for me!

Nicole

Yeah, it had the same effect on me. I was just about to report it as spam until I dimly recalled the url of the links!

I thought it was spam also. Just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find the OF post about the beta from a while back. Wasn't until I used the word "beta" in the OF Forum search field that I found it. Seems I put a space in the words "slide show" and could not find the original post. "slideshow" worked like a charm!
