Hi,

  I have been trying to make my DNN site as compliant as possible to atleast past the WCAG priority 1, 2 but I keep coming across alot of depricated tags that are created by the core application or it's controls.  Is the project team considering on recoding all the core/control html to meet xhtml 1.0 specs?  That way when the site is validated for  accessibility  issues  it will atleast past  WCAG Priority 1 and 2.

  I know some of you are going to say that it all depends on your template, but it doesn't.  My templates are xhtml 1.0 and CSS 2.0 compliant as validated to date by W3C validators.  The problem arises fromt the DNN core/controls that spit out its own html code, the modules and the user content.  The modules and user contents are easily corrected.  It is only the DNN stuff that I can't seem to find the html code to correct.

  Any insite would be appreciated.

it's an area we've been looking at recently, take a look at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/mid/2108/forumid/118/threadid/30604/scope/posts/Default.aspx for for some of the recent thoughts. I'm preparing a proposal for the areas we need to work on at the minute, and we will looking to address this in the near future.

Thanks for the information.  That helped me out.  I can look forward to DNN being compliant in the future.  For now, I will have to make due with what I have.

What version of DNN are you using.  The reason I ask is that if you use DNN 4.0 your site should see a big improvement in compliance becuase the .Net controls do a better job of spotting out compliant output.  If you are using 4.0 you might want to change the DOCType in the default.aspx.  Right now it is set to <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> so the .Net controls render HTML 4.0 output.  I am pretty sure if you change it to the XHTML doctype you would see an immediate improvement in you sites compliance, although it won't be 100%.
