Thanks for the explanation moshu. Absolutely obvious. Silly me. ?? Serves me right for working so late. Feel free to ditch the entire thread if you want, waste of space! LOL. Night

EDIT: We’ll learn to post a few lines of code when there’s easy to find and clear instructions on how to use the tags on this system. I don’t mean to whine, but “Put code in between backticks” is exactly what I’ve been doing, to no avail. <shrug> I’m off

Yes, I know you can style input buttons ?? I love what can be accomplished with CSS (even design definition lists so they look like tables! but I digress).

I ended up using an input button, with a conditional statement. So the user sees the “High contrast” option when they are on the default view, and the “Default” option when they are in high contrast view ??

I’m nearly ready to upload to live server, then it’ll be show and tell if y’all are interested. I certainly could use feedback and constructive criticism on my very first WP theme. ??

Well, hello there! Hadn’t looked at your site in a while, and I see this post of yours here, so I checked it out now that I’m venturing in the wonderful world of WP. Very very nice. You certainly achieved a “non-blog” look, which is cool.

I still have to get in touch with you ’bout that hosting thing ??

Yeah, this will work, sweet, thanks maerk. I have to modify the form a wee bit, don’t want to be using submit buttons, but that’s easy as (html is easy…)

Cheers

Hey, sometimes the most obvious thing stares us in the face for hours and days and we don’t see it ?? I’m glad I could help ??

Hello,

I’m really new to WordPress, so my solution may not work for you, but… Here’s what I’m thinking.

The default theme that comes with WP delivers pages/subpages in the sidebar in nested uls (I think). If you use that code in the header.php in the appropriate place, then use a bit of css magic, you should be able to get there.

Look for something like “horizontal suckerfish css menus” on google for the CSS styling, you should get a few hits.

The advantage is that it’s purely css driven, so it remains accessible and usable even if you access the site on a text-only browser (like a wap phone, for instance).

HTH

Wow, go to bed, come back, and a good discussion ensued! Cool. Thanks folks!

@dodlebee, you’re right, cookies isn’t an issue, unless of course the user has cookies turned off, but at that point, it’s not my problem anymore, and is certainly not an accessibility issue ?? PHP is fine, ASP, well, I try to stay away from that <grin>

@moshu, a theme switcher might work, but is really cumbersome, as it means I’d have to basically copy my theme files and just have one css file different. It is a better approach to be able to change the one css file which is really lightweight.

@maerk, Thanks for that. I’m unable to test it until I get home later today, but I’ll let you know how that goes.

Thanks for the prompt response maerk. However, while ALA generally has fantastic solutions, in this particular instance, I can’t use it.

I need a solution that doesn’t rely on javascript. Again, the site aims at people with disabilities, which may, or may not, have js enabled/running/accessible. While it is more likely that people with low vision needing the high contrast style would have js turned on than someone relying on screenreading, I cannot afford to make the assumption.

Therefore, I need a non-javascript solution.

I’ve found a plugin that appears to do the trick, but it was done pre WP1.2 and I’m not sure if it’ll work, and if it doesn’t, how to fix it. I may be fluent in html/css, but while I can read php, I’m by no means a code jokey ??
