Hi Dorothy,
I use Supernova but it shouldn't make any difference really.  It probably
does, but I don't think it should as all screen readers should do the same
thing, but as we know some are better at different things than others, which 
normally means that you need to have more than one, which means more
expense.

Hi all,

I've just come across a website that claims to have WAI - AA and WCAG 1.0
having a symbol in the corner of ths creen.  The thing that I don't agree
with is the colour contrast - white text on a light blue background.  My
question is that when websites are tested by an accessibility
website/program for accessibility, is colour contrast taken into
consideration? Surely the colour schemes to be used can be picked up from the code. If it isn't already taken into consideration, maybe it could be 
i

nthe future by specifying to the accessibility tool what is good contrast
and what is bad contrast. Do you follow what I'm saying? For example, if 
the tool was told that white text on a light blue background was not good
contrast then it woud be able to reject websites that were accessed using
this method.

I'm interested in hearing the views of others on this topic.

Thanks.

Karina
