First, understand that I did not mean to imply that B did
anything real bad in so responding. Just that the details of
accessibility were not what were particularly relevant. The
crucial sentence of the OP was:
"The reason I ask is that often advice is given against e.g. the
use of frames, against adjusting font sizes or use of particular
fonts, or all kinds of 'general' best practices, but I can
imagine that your designer, your client or your boss might
disagree.
So, how often can you implement all of the best practices?"
Which very much looks like how to deal with folk who need to be
dealt with in the construction of a web site. B (and I) did
address this a little too.
It is irrelevant whether the OP does or not know what best
practice is in the actual finished pages. So it does not matter
if the post was read with open eyes or half closed ones. It still
does not make it relevant to write about the actual rules of good
website construction.
Just by the way, the OP himself followed up soon after my post
and said as much....
(I see his post was before mine in time now that i dig it out of
this on-line reader):
"The point of my post was not debating the advices given. I think
they all good practices that any web developer should follow. I
just wonder how often the 'experts' or professional web
developers in this group face a situation where they meet
resistance when it comes to applying those advices."
Hoy ASDF! in my search for original posts, I see yours.
"for once, I agree with jukka :)) Nice one!"
Please revise this and have an agreement with JK something to
look forward to in the future. You are backing the wrong horse
here.
I have booked a Supreme Court venue to thrash this super
important matter out further. We will all gather and talk and
speak to motions. Then we will all rush off to the pub and get
drunk, followed by some informal soccer on the beach at Coogee.
And then a dunk in the water to sober up.
