RNIB's recommendations Should make interesting and possibly amuzing reading Wonder if Tink Watson is up for this sort of work. I'd trust her advice on this a good deal more than the chosen ones.

It begins, "The Disability Right Commission (DRC) wants people to tell it about websites that the disabled find difficult to use in order to improve accessibility." It goes on to say that the DRC, "is empowered by law to conduct formal investigations" into such web sites. And my goodness, the also say, "The DRC, with help from the RNIB, has also asked the British Standards Institute to develop clear guidance for web design." The article quotes a telephone number for the DRC - 08457 622633 - and a web site - http://www.drc-gb.org Give them a call, and refer to this article in Computer Active Magazine. So let's be hearing all about your calls, and what they have to say. George.
