Curious?

I’m reviewing some crazy delicious CSS tricks from Mandarin Design.
Webword is going crazy delicious with the alphabet blocks. While I don’t have mad CSS skillz, I do have some Cntl-C and Cntl-V karate at my disposal.

I’ll just mention that the alpha blocks show badly to anyone who uses any (or all) Accessibility options in Internet Explorer.
But then, any website employing special formatting or colorization can lose through user employment of those options.
Wolf, great point. It seems there’s always a cost to pushing the envelope. Cutting edge…envelope cuts.
However, I will say that accessibility and CSS often go hand in hand.

Accessibility? What? I use large font settings and am an accessibility proponent so really really want to know how to make the alphabet blocks more accessible.
What settings are you using? I’m low-vision only and can test on myself and deaf/HOH in the day job. Which part makes it not accessible? Are you using a screen reader?
Please let me know (email). Please and thanks for any help on this one.
