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. Accessibility? What?

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?

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. http://www.naarvoren.nl/artikel/high_accessibility/ http://www.webaim.org/techniques/css/ http://www.clagnut.com/blog/1553/ http://staff.washington.edu/rells/xhtmlcss/accessibility/xhtml-css-acc.htm Wolf, great point.

But then, any website employing special formatting or colorization can lose through user employment of those options.
