Yes, AJAX is very cool. This is a newer combination of technologies that allows instant, more interactive web content through communication between client and server without refreshing a page (GoogleMaps is most common example). But this can only work if the user agent (a.k.a. browser) has Javascript enabled and can handle XMLHttpRequest. There are also usability issues, such as the user not being aware of automatic content and formatting changes. What are your thoughts? Experiences?

Accessibility of AJAX Application
There are tables, there are forms, and there is accessibility. How should you use, or not use, these on a web page?
Sample XHTML:
Sample CSS:form div {
clear: left;
padding .5em 0 0;
margin: 0.5em 0px 0px;
}
form div label {
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
width: 10em;
margin-right: 1em;
}

More than 508
What do the US, UK, Denmark, Australia, Italy, Japan and India have in common? Yes, they all have legislation for web accessibility!
So I apologize if I’ve mentioned “Section 508” but not the other laws around the world. I didn’t realize until recently how much legislation exists. Hopefully the law will spread. Case in point, the US government has law to cover accessibility for federal web sites and other electonic media, but to my knowledge no states have passed legislation.
