[WG: Accessibility] New idea for linking Accessibility documentation

Hi Neil,

I don't think that is a problem.  When I was working with Elizabeth Venstra on the IU Sakai side, my suggestion was that the link to confluence open in that frame because users may want to continue to use other help documentation.  If need be we can modify the image or provide multiple images so they do not extend off-screen.  These images are not announced by Assistive Technology, due to the way confluences codes images so image captions are already provided. Do you foresee this conflicting with the i18n plan? Thankx.

Hi Accessibility group,

Elizabeth Venstra from the Documentation group provided this idea, and Beth Kirshner gave me the technical information to implement. 

Instead of displaying the link to the Accessibility Confluence page, we can have the Confluence page display directly within Sakai online help! I've included a short screencast (30 seconds) to show how this works - http://screencast.com/t/K9Jw8wYRP

What do you think? The only potential problem I see is with images sometimes going a little off-screen (or we would need to truncate in Confluence, etc).

If you like this idea, I have to check one more technical detail and then I could check into Trunk so everyone could have a look. Right now it is just on my Mac, locally.

Cheers,
Neal
