I know almost every blogger wrote about this subject (lately all complaining about IE6 still being used by common users) – but this time I think we should take all this to the next level and start doing something about it. I admit I don’t usually have contact with the final clients or have access [...]

After writing an accessible form in XHTML and validating it with a PHP server side script & after that with a Mootools client-side script, I write today about a third way of approaching the subject – using future-to-come HTML5 (by saying that, I really hope to be able to use it waaaay before 2011).

A good way to learn about accessibility is through examples and discussions. In this post I will try to translate the WCAG sometimes-hard-to-get rules into a copy-paste real contact form example.  You can check the test link, download the code and/or keep reading a bit more. As I mentioned before, contact forms are in great [...]

When it comes to accessibility, every coder is a small guru. On the websites where I bid for projects everybody is an accessibility and usability expert (including myself, I admit).

Altough these rules exist for quite a while there are coders who find difficult to implement them – so I am trying to find here what are the tricks that you use in writing your code to make it accessible. For example, although writing semantic code helps (a lot !) it is not always enough. Some try to view their pages with CSS and images disabled, some don’t. Some of us have tricks that we do not want to share to other coders. Some of us share. We’re not all gurus, right? Someone has to start from somewhere.

So if you have something interesting to say, add your own rules here.
