Full Version: Bobby Compliancy?
Vicki,
I haven't yet checked, but I'd be surprised if Bobby found problems in Dive Into Accessibility, a guide to making your Movable Type site more accessible.
I've used it as a guide in creating the new code for My Site, a slightly more complex design than DIA (three columns with a header and a footer), though still valid CSS and XHTML 1.0 (strict). It looks okay in Netscape 4.x, not great but acceptable. It still doesn't merit official Bobby approval, but that's my goal and I plan to keep coding until I get there.
Good luck,
ABC3

I think that you would be able to change things in your templates enough to make Bobby accept it. When I run your journal URL through the report, I see a few things that you might need MT tweaking for.
You might need to tweak with the links to recent comments and pings. I think that it wants the text to be different in each link, its more descriptive, so you could add in the title into the comment link - they it could say "Sunday, news? comments (0)". And then it looks like its not liking the popup codes, so you might think about using the Individual Archive page (what you see when you click the permalink time) for comments. This wouldn't require "onclick" clicking, and it wouldn't require script in the head of the document, both of which should be more accessable.
You may also wish to play with your stylesheet to use more relative sizes for the fonts instead of fixed ones (which is what px are).
So pretty much, if you go through the Bobby Report, you should be able to make most of the changes it wants. If you get stuck on something particular, post back and one of us should be able to help

Thanks.
I have got the front page to level one, sad but a start!
I had forgotten how to work out percentages. I know now why my maths teachers used to dispair!
I am goign to try and get the rest of the site sorted this week or at least the main disabilities section, once i have the frotn end at level three.
Not certain what you mean about the comment could you explain further?
I am also very new to html.

It looked like when I ran the report, that it was concerned that so many links were using the same text. So my suggestion would be to change this code:
so that it looks like this:
That would show the title in the link to the comments and that would make the links be titled differently each time, which in turn should make Bobby happier
Kristine
CODE
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
so that it looks like this:
CODE
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments on <$MTEntryTitle$> (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments on <$MTEntryTitle$> (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
That would show the title in the link to the comments and that would make the links be titled differently each time, which in turn should make Bobby happier
