Accessible tableless forms

Wednesday, December 28, 2005

There are tables, there are forms, and there is accessibility. How should you use, or not use, these on a web page?

Sample XHTML:
<form action="foo.php">
<div>
<label for="email">Your email address:</label>
<input name="email" type="text" size="20" maxlength="50" id="email" />

<label for="sub">Subscribe</label>
<input name="action" type="radio" id="sub" value="add" checked="checked" />

More than 508

Tuesday, December 20, 2005

What do the US, UK, Denmark, Australia, Italy, Japan and India have in common? Yes, they all have legislation for web accessibility!

So I apologize if I've mentioned "Section 508" but not the other laws around the world. I didn't realize until recently how much legislation exists. Hopefully the law will spread. Case in point, the US government has law to cover accessibility for federal web sites and other electonic media, but to my knowledge no states have passed legislation.
