HTML - Accessibility: Deaf/deaf And Hard Of Hearing
A really good article by Lisa Herrod was posted on A List Apart this week...
If you thought that you'd covered all accessibility angles with your graphical design - read this and find out how to cater for members of the Deaf community. Similar TutorialsProblem Solved Hi guys, I'm currently working on a site and the customer has asked if i can add a enlarge text feature. I am building the site with the Wordpress system but wanted to get some feedback on the best way to acheive this. Would i need to look for a wordpress plugin do you think? Or is there something out there i can just add into the page template its self. For example can i get something where i just post a simple javascript link into the wrodpress header on the template that allows the visitors to enlarge the text. This is the first time, i've been asked to do this so want to learn the correct way first time around. If it makes the question simplier forget about me using wordpress and if possible give me some ideas on how to do it with a static site. All feedback is appreciated always. Cheers CC_DESIGN I am trying to make a form which has some Yes/No radio button options such as are you over 18? The code that I am using is shown below. Each radio button in the age group has a label next to it stating what the value of the button is. In addition to this I want to include the question "Are you over 18?" which I am presuming is another <label>. However what do i put for the for="???" bit because the two radio buttons which it is associated have different ids (ageY and ageN). Can someone advice me on how best to approach this problem in terms of accessibility please? Code: <fieldset> <legend>Personal Details</legend> <label for"???">Are you over 18?</label> <input type="radio" name="age" id="ageY" value="Yes" /> <label for="ageY">Yes</label> <input type="radio" name="age" id="ageN" value="No" /> <label for="ageN">No</label> </fieldset> Its sort of a personal issue but i'll explain it as best i can... I'm not a nice person, I'm the type of person who wont back off and cant stand being told what i am. I feel like such a ......, If someone does something against me, they are going to regret it... i want to know how i can deal with things in a better way, and how i can stop being a total A$$hole. I need to get over the lone wolf crap as well, i automatically reject new places and people that i have to adapt to...I've already made myself out to be the biggest f@g in school...I don't totally disagree with myself here though, because most of the fools just follow each other around like sheep and i don't want to be like that. I don't want to hear anything about Councillors or Psychiatrists because i want to turn the other cheek on my own...I just need a little pointer to get started. ========== Hello!

If so, let me know. This just seems to be the one stop place for most of the questions I have that dal with web page design. Anyways, if anyone read past the first paragraph, I have yet another question. Is the transition from HTML to CSS hard? The HTML book I am studying (which I just NOW found out is from 2003... ) teaches me a lot that I didn't know before and has really got me going with HTML more than any other book. It's teaching me HTML 4 and I realize there is now an HTML 5. The author even mentions that some of the tags it uses are deprecated (the book will later go on into CSS to replace those tags). Is it confusing to switch out tags like that when moving to CSS? I'm the kind of person who likes to stay up-to-date with stuff and HTML & CSS I want to be up to par on for sure. Am I going to have to learn HTML 4, then HTML5, then CSS since I'm pretty much just starting out? Sorry for all the questions. Just really curious and need to know ahead of time. Not that I would quit learning if it was a long process, it's just how I am . Any responses would be appreciated! Hi there, I have just made a program that i need a register form on, so the hard part is.. When people download the program there are a Read me.txt file with the program, in that read me file i want to put a code, and that code i want to use for my security code in the register form. Like: If the Read me.txt Code is: 44456 then i need to make a textbox then i want them to write that code online on the register form. and if the Read me.txt code is wrong when they try to register, then they need to try again. Can anyone help me?? i need the script... PLEASE HELP ME! Here is an example: Can you please help me with this problem. The HTML you are already given (has 2 unordered lists and both of them are in seperate divs) and I have to style them up with CSS with what the assignment wants. So far what I have is this: ul#menu { float: left; width: 6em; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #aac; border-right: thick solid #44a; border-left: thick solid #ccf; } div#main { margin-left: 7em; } Now the thing is, it's looking alright so far, but there are some problems and things I don't know how to fix. Firstly with the border right and border left things and background color on my unordered list, the left and right borders aren't big enough and the middle part is too big. I want to change this but keep my list items (the middle and 2 borders) the same overall length as I have them now, just to switch proportions. Also, in the example of the finished product, the list items have a small white space between eachother as to seperate them.. kind of like they are in their own seperate rectangular boxes with borders each on top of eachother, how can I do this? Thanks for your time! Hope you can help! I would like to build this type of widget but without the trulia logos and taking them to the trulia site, i would like to be able to use my idx system to search properties http://www.trulia.com/tools/searchbox/#code_block I'm looking for a way to have a link to a hard drive - that works both with a Windows machine (not running Resin), and a Unix (Macintosh) machine.

Something that is very well done so that I can use it and change the Headers and buttons etc etc.... Anyone have experience with this? hi team, just wondering what code i would require to make a text box with a search button next to it and having the following characteristics... * input can be any letter/number (say for eg: 5555) * onclick sends parent window to www.website.com/5555 thus whatever you enter into the box sends you to a website address with the text box entry at the end. this is for an internal webpage at our small business. cheers and any tips appreciated!! HI, Can anybody recommend a gadget for Previewing / Thumbnailing HTML templates on my hard drive. I have lots of index.html pages in different folders and I'm looking for a way to flick through them, rather than having to go in and open the files individually. Hi, I've been working on this page for quite a while: http://www.mymusiclair.com/supporter It displays correctly in Chrome, IE, and FF on my hard drive, but once i upload it it displays wrong in everything except IE. I used FrontPage 2003 to make it... any suggestions? Thanks, Vicky All I want is to have my image placed in the center of my web page... Every code I try doesn't work. The image is either at the top of the page or it doesn't stay in the center at different resolutions. Can someone help me? Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! |
