I'm using HotMetal Pro to create my pages. One of the things I can do is an "accessability" check to see what problems people with disabilities might have when viewing my pages. Since my site is more on the personal end of the spectrum, I haven't been too worried about redoing my pages or offering alternate pages.

If I should decide to make my site accessable, I wouldn't really know how to tailor my pages. Are there any good guidelines on making pages accessable? For instance, my site uses tables. What could I offer instead? Has anyone else here created accessable pages? All comments are welcomed.

Netscape have some pretty good tutorials on that (seeing as they want ppl to swing away from custom M$ scripting)

Thanks. I'll have to check that out. The only reservation I have is that, being N$, I wouldn't be surprised if the recommended solutions are N$-specific coding. But it should be a good starting point. Thanks again.
