Can you document this in the description of the theme. It's great!

Any thoughts about WCAG validation -- http://www.sidar.org/hera/index.php.en

We do try to make sure the themes validate to XHTML Strict and CSS 2. But to be honest, I've not checked the validation of the 6.x dev theme as I've been developing it offline. Nice to hear it still validates though. :-)

The basic CWS theme is as compliant to WCAG (with a few exceptions) as we can make it. Some of the failings of this, and many other themes are due to some coding issues in the Drupal core. We believe it's best for fix the issues in the core rather than try to hash everything in the theme.

We normally check our sites using a combination of online and offline accessibility checkers, Hera being one of them.

These are great tools.

Oops. should have looked through all my responses first. Just passed along some redundant info to you in an earlier issue thread.

Those are very good accessibility tools. I've added them here:

This is very good!

Testing at http://d-theme.com/cws. Passes a few tests. Wave detected one accessibility error. The following link has nowhere to go. If the sidebar is not used, this link should not be produced.
