Building accessible tables.
Building accessible tables.
09/30/2002 01:52 PMCSS and XHTML have given tables a pretty rough ride in recent times.
Of course, this is the fault of just about all web developers who have
at some point in their career used them for laying out page elements.
This article is not about using tables for layout. It is about how to
use tables to display information in an accessible manner. Use XHTML
and CSS all you want for layout, but if you have information
relationships to display, use tables and use them well.

Building Accessible HTML Tables for the
Disabled
10/01/2002 12:25 PMBlind and other severely vision impaired users rely on assistive
technologies to render web content. All text can be fed through a
screen reader or refreshable braille display to be presented to the
user. However, despite containing text, the table above could make a
real mess of things without a few extra behind the scenes
accessibility enhancements. To an assistive browser our table could
well look like this:
Time Planned Task Preferred Task What I actually did
10 - 12 Catch up on replying to my emails. Have a lie in. Surfed
aimlessly.
12-1 Have Lunch. Have Lunch. Had Breakfast.
1-5 Finish that project. Go to video store. Caught up on my emails.
Ok, we can still kind of make a little sense of it. That is because we
can see it. A blind user can't easily scan back up and check what the
third piece of information relates to. Was it what I actually did, or
what I would have preferred to do? This is why we need to create
relationships within the code of our table. Thankfully, from HTML4.0 a
bucketful of accessibility enhancements were introduced to enable the
conscientious developer to do this. -- Tim Roberts

Bush and The Blizzard of '04
Bush and The Blizzard of '04
08/28/2004 11:59 PMThe Republican National Conventions isn't the only worrisome thing
going on in New York at the moment, though you won't hear about this
one in the media for awhile. Perhaps you never will. Perhaps the fix
is in on this topic as well. I'm talking about the interesting fact
that, along with the Republican National Convention, New York is being
hit with a cocaine epidemic that is even worse than the snowstorm that
gripped this town during the mid to latter 80's. (During the last Bush
administration, to put a finer point on it.) This time there won't be
a crack problem to get all racist about, however. Cocaine in New York
is now so cheap and plentiful that such economic measures as cooking
it down to crack need not be taken by the poor. People who learned
better 20 years ago are suddenly snorting blow again. People you would
never think would mess with this stuff are messing with it big time.
Once again one commonly sees lines on the tabletops and the frantic
eyes you can never make contact with. I was in a club the other night
that was full as a tick with beautiful-looking people pharmaceutically
disabled from beholding one another's beauty. At the same time that
the white death has made such a roaring comeback, the drugs that I
think are relatively harmless, pot and the psychedelics, are in
extremely short supply. Pot is selling at cocaine prices, a hundred
dollars a gram sometimes. And coke is selling at pot prices. An ounce
of coke would cost about the same as an ounce of decent sensimilla a
few years ago. Mushrooms are scarce. LSD is functionally off the
market. What's going on? One is tempted to wonder if the CIA might not
be back in the drug trafficking game, though I was never completely
convinced that they were last time. As I say, there does seem to be an
interesting correlation between cocaine epidemics and Bush
administrations. But then, cocaine is a Republican drug. It makes its
users self-obsessed, aggressive, and greedy. It plays hell with one's
sense of consequence. It's generally preferred by people who have more
money than humanity. And, best of all, the weirdos and peaceniks who
like to waste their useless time stoned on marijuana or psychedelics,
tend to hate it. ("All the more for us, eh, Buffy?) Trouble is, even
if you disapprove of cocaine, you're not certain to turn down every
line you get offered, especially it's everywhere and if all the other
recreational confusicants save booze (the other Republican drug) have
been eliminated from the market. Once again, one can see clearly what
the War on Some Drugs is really about. It's the culture, stupid. It
certainly isn't about public safety, since coke and booze are the
perfect combination for social depravity of all sorts. Instead, it
provides a beautiful opportunity to jail the blacks and hippies who
prefer the non-Republican drugs. It makes huge bank for one's
wing-tipped colleagues. Can it really be that the Bush Administration
has decided to turn a blind eye to blow? Or is it that they are simply
too incompetent, despite turning Columbia into a war zone. Maybe this
is just a local phenomenon, arising from the fact that approximately
10,000 New York police officers, who ordinarily focus on narco crime,
have been diverted to convention patrol. Whatever the cause. it is
clear that one of the few ways in which the Republicans will be likely
made welcome here at the moment will be with the plentiful
availability of one of their favorite drugs (along with alcohol,
money, and power.) Just what we need, a whole arena packed with
irritable, glaze-eyed folks who are even more certain of their
superiority than usual. Not to mention volatile. Might we be treated
to the spectacle of rioting Republicans before it's all over with? I
certainly hope so....

Selling snowballs in a blizzard
12/11/2003 10:46 PMDuring last week's NYC snowstorm, an entrepreneur set up shop in Times
Square, selling snowballs for $1/pop.
The young man was Gilberto Triplitt, a 28-year-old unemployed artist
from Queens who attended LaGuardia High School and worked in a
furniture store until it closed in the post-Sept. 11 downturn. He went
into the snowball business Monday afternoon on Prince St. in SoHo. He
reported selling six in 2-1/2 hours.
"It's really easy to sell them," he said, to a reporter's surprise.
