don't complain to me that I only spend so much time on the matter - get onto
the likes of http://www.w3.org/WAI/ it IS about time those with disablilties
TOLD these people to stop bickering ...... except that you are all still,
erm ..... bickering.

Let me repeat what I intimated in my posts on that link, until standards are
decided upon, people will not put in the effort to comply with them.

I asked on the forum for someone to check and see if my coding was correct -
I had exactly zero replies back.  How do you expect me to push forward
people to include the minor code changes as they are learning when none of
"you" are even prepared to see if it is correct?

So, I shrug my shoulders and say "well, at least I tried".

It is not my loss that you have gotten yet another person do that, it is
your loss as a group.

Sadly,

Phill.
