Thanks for taking a look. The font size isn't my idea, I advised
against it, but, you can't fight City Hall.
If they understand WWW design so much better than this group, why
does anyone bother bother to ask our opinion?
You can cite them when the court case comes up. They'll be able to
explain how "font-size: 8px;" (for example) conforms with the WAI
requirements, I'm sure.
Not to be argumentative, but the original post was an issue with a drop
down menu. I did not seek any opinions about the font size, as already
had advised the client of this foolhardiness. Perhaps I should have
mentioned that in my original post. I was merely responding to the
comments made, and I will be forwarding these discussions to my client.
When I first mentioned WAI, I was told that the people who would be using
the site would have great eye sight (with no colorblindness or other
impairments), be using IE only (fully loaded of course), and be young and
hip, so that conforming to WAI was not only not necessary, but frowned
upon. I must say that I did win some battles, the battle of the pop up,
the battle of flash only, the battle the slice and dice all graphics site
(including text), the battle of target="_blank". With fortitude, I'm
sure I will persevere.
