Subject:Section 508 Compliance and Online Help From:surfer_924 -at- earthlink -dot- net To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Mon, 18 Aug 2003 13:59:58 -0600
I'm creating online help for a financial application for a government
contract. Six months into the project, the issue of Section 508 compliance
has come up. I've done some research and found guidelines for web sites,
web based programs, etc. but nothing on online help. Basically, from what
I've read, my online help needs to be able to be read by a text reader,
and not interfere with any accessibility software.
Does anyone have any experience with Section 508 and Online Help, and if
so, can you offer any tips or advice?
