Text Only Version of Site

[IndyGill]

Hi

I am creating a site that has to adhere to strict accessibility issues Netscape/IE 4 compatible and take into considerations people with Visual impairments. The site contains both static and dynamic information.

I would like to give the user an option to change to a text only version of the site, so it can be accessed quicker and improve Voice Browsing. I was wondering if somebody could explain how the text only version is created. Does each page have to be created without images or can some sort of component be used to do this for you. I do not want to have create every page in a text only version as the site I am working on is very big.

I am sorry if this is not very clear but an example of this is

http://www.mswha.nhs.uk/

this example gives the option of text only in the top right and then goes on to the ability to change text display options.

I would be very grateful for any advice

Hi mate,

I`m sorry but I don`t have any suggestions about how to create text only versions but you should check out the following site

This should answer any of your questions regarding disability access and you can also test your site to see if it meets their access standards.

Hope this helps Wullie

Just add the good ol' alt tag to images so thoughs with text only browser gets a text description of the img that should exist. DeZiner
