EASI Public Webinars in January 2009

EASI's 2 public Webinars this month are both down-to-earth, useful 
Webinars.  If you create any Web content or if you need to be able to 
evaluate the accessibility of Web pages made by your colleagues, these are 
for you!  One is on making accessible forms on the Web, and providing forms 
to help you collect information is becoming more common and important.  The 
other is how to use cascading style sheets so your Web pages will be better 
and will be easier to manage and modify.  If you register for these, you 
get 2 benefits.  First it saves a seat for you in the Webinar 
room.  Second, it puts you on a list to get the archive for the Webinar 
after it is over.
(These are Jan. 13 and 20 both at 2 PM Eastern)

Creating Accessible Forms for the Web, Tuesday January 13 at 2 PM Eastern
Presenter: Hadi Rangin from the University of Illinois
Using the correct HTML code in designing forms for the Web is useful for 
everyone, but it is essential to enable users with screen reader software 
to be able to read and fill in the form. What these users frequently 
encounter are forms where the edit field does not tell the user what 
information is being requested. Check boxes and radio buttons also need to 
convey the information what items they are associated with and signal to 
the user whether they are checked or not. Select boxes need also to deliver 
unique information about the selected item and buttons should clearly 
indicate what form they blong to and what function they are associated with.
In this public Webinar, we will be covering the most essential knowledge 
and accessibility technique that every HTML developer should know in order 
to make web-based forms accessible.


Cascading Style Sheets: What they are and How they Affect Accessibility A 
public Webinar Tuesday Jan. 20 at 2 PM Eastern
Presenter: Terrill Thompson from DO-IT at the University of Washington
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a markup language used for controlling the 
presentation of a web page. Using CSS to control presentation allows web 
authors to completely separate content from presentation. In this webinar 
we will explore why this is important. We will provide a general overview 
of CSS, including basic techniques. From there, we will explore how CSS can 
be used in designing accessible Web pages. This session will focus on web 
designers with beginner or intermediate skill levels.
