Accessibility - Top Tips
Don't constrain the height of either a table or table cell within HTML. Tables were never intended for layout use, but displaying tabular data.Avoid high dependence on table driven design. Each cell is read by certain browsers in sequence: from top left across. Use CSS to produce your layouts. Your coding will be reduced and the search engines may reward your attention to detail.Always be mindful of the colours of your pages fonts. Is it easy to read with your current background colour? Black on white is far safer than white on black. I find that dark gray on white looks great.Some people feel that validating HTML is a waste of time and effort. This is the case if you have to apply good coding practise to a page once it has been created. Surely code should be well written from the outset? Study w3 rules and apply them.To let browsers know what kind of code you are using within your pages, don't forget to add the 'DOCTYPE' at the top of every page. This will also aid a successful validation with w3.org.
