As the forum module is in tabular formate, is it possible to make it
A table (in this particular case) is more accessible to blind users than a collection of DIVs. The forum module listings *are* actually tabular data - a grid of titles, owners, number of replies, and timestamps. Tabular data that, when moved to CSS, would lose a lot of its charm. You should look into the table CAPTION and TBODY elements. -- Morbus Iff ( i've eaten fruity pebbles with p-diddy ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
hello. I have built many sites with drupal and the forum module installed, being a blind user myself I don't see any serious accessibility flaw in the module. blind users with any of the current screen readers are able to navigate the forum successfully. regards, mohammed al-shar' www.mystop.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Abhishek Nigam To: support@drupal.org Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 2:56 PM Subject: [support] accessibility of forum module Hi, how can i make forum module accessible to blind user's.
