I’ve noticed that the Mozilla org has been doing quite a bit on accessibility, from working with IBM on Rich-apps accessibility, to funding people to make Firefox accessible with VoiceOver. Mark Pilgrim reports that Firefox 3 will include the option to block meta-redirects.

I’ve recently moved to using GMail as my primary interface, and I noticed a new mobile feature. The mobile access for GMail is much better than the one I installed on my hosting, which frankly was unusable on my phone despite an excellent mobile browser. Then I tried the Symbian GMail client.

Generally I delete phishing emails without a second glance, but this one caught my eye for being so realistic, and using a interesting method intended for accessibility to disguise a fraudulent link.

There are several options available for increasing the apparent size of web pages, from simple increases in text size, to full screen magnification. Focusing on browsers, I’ll examine what options suit different people, and what implications this can have for web development.

Mobile browsing has been, frankly, rubbish so far. But now there are two new mobile browsers that confound the generally dire opinion of mobile browsers.

Floating ideas onto the CSS working group can be a frustrating experience, possibly almost as frustrating as seeing the same questions come up every few months! I take a look at why it would be useful to be able to identify text nodes.

There is an elephant in the corner type of problem in the accessibilty world, that of WYSIWYG editors. In the first of a three part series, I outline this problem. The later posts will define what a solution would be, and see if it exists yet.

Some people need a history lesson. I’m not a Microsoft evangelist, but the anti-Internet Explorer comments are getting ridiculous. The following is why people should back off, for now.

Since November 2004 when Firefox 1.0 was release, it has become the main ‘other’ browser, stinging Microsoft into updating Internet Explorer. I try out the new version, running several installs separately so as not to ruin my current set up.

It’s been something that designers have wanted better control of ever since CSS started to be considered the best way to layout HTML pages: table style grids. A quick review of the options shows there could be a few drawbacks of the method.
