In my experience, the single best discipline for writing a good Web page is to write so that the page works well for a blind person listening to it. You may not expect any of your visitors will be driving a car, and listening to pages, or to be permanently blind, but nonetheless, a page that works well with the blind works well with the sighted. * Structure the page so it makes sense when heard out loud. * Arrange for good and clear navigation. * Use meaningful ALT tags for all images. You can check a Web page for handicapped access using the `Bobby' (from CAST, the Center for Applied Special Technology): http://www.cast.org/bobby/ Other useful sites are: The `Best Viewed With Any Browser' site http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/ Curmudgeonly Comments on bad Web page design from Eric S.
