Rather ironic, isn't it, that the National Association of Local
Societies for the Visually Impaired  - NALSVI - should have these not so
meaningful spacer image graphicss peopling their main Web site.  (No
headings issue with me neither.  Might be better if there were! <smile>.

Barry,

I'm not sure what's going on at your end but I can't find any headings
at
all on the NALSVI website, nor can I find any lines that come up with
the
text you mention!

What I do find on the page is an irritating number of 'eye candy'
graphics
which are announced as "Graphic spacer image".

You've got me wondering now if I've got some setting that is set to
ignore
headings but I'm pretty sure that this is not the case as it announces
headings on other websites.

Sounds most odd to me.

Incidentally, on a site where headings have been used well, they can be
a
really excellent additional navigation facility and shouldn't be
necessarily
viewed as a nuisance.

Cheers,

Jamie
