Would it really kill you to provide an alt="description" attribute to
said images who those using screen readers can at least get the gist?

Hi everyone,
I'm weighing into this thread late, but wanted to make a couple of
quick comments.
I agree with Chris' point that accessibility isn't only for the
benefit of people with disabilities; it provides all kinds of value to
everyone who uses the Web. Perhaps you've heard of the "ele

On second thought... what event, exactly, is supposed to trigger this?
Where is my onfontsizechange?

Just a quick note, jQuery.Accessible's main use is not the validator
shown in the demo, that's just an addition. What I really wished to do
is to actually improve accessibility with slight modifications of the
dom. The plugin doesn't have many of those, 2 or 3. I hoped some
people would contribute
Very clearly argued, Chris - and this is too often forgotten!
