Ann,
Thanks for the hint about referring to Lynx (the cat) in this fashion - much
appreciated, and about HTML Tidy. I'll take a look at that and see if it has
anything my other code checkers don't cover. smile.

Hi all,
Original message:
My favorite is to get web designers to view their pages using lynx,
and navigate
it with voice commands via Dragon instead of with a keyboard or
mouse. That
puts them a little closer to my world. It's sure obvious when all those
javascripts and aplets don't work, all the image links have no labels
so you
have no idea what the heck they are, and that pretty table they put in
is just
scattered text that makes as much sense as a random explosion inside a
Gutenberg
bible!
Now, I like this lady. Anyone who would recommend viewing web pages
with Lynx, The Cat, knows her stuff! Three cheers for you.
A word of explanation. I always refer to Lynx, The Cat, in this way to
distinguish it from Links, The Chain. The screen readers make no
distinction in pronunciation, so Lynx and Links sound alike.
I like Lynx, The Cat, I run it occasionally on my Linux box here. It
works well on good sites. Hint, if you download a small program for
your Linux shell or box while you're testing your web site in Lynx, The
Cat, it may offer some help as well. It's call HTML Tidy. It catches
all kinds of web code errors. Great little program.
