Lately, I’ve been attempting to create a new design for the Gotchas as I plan to move it into the Movable Type environment. Right now, the pages are updated by hand and take too much time while the gotcha collection is piling up on my PC.

I want to give users the ability to increase the text size or change the style. To do this requires JavaScript and I wanted to be sure it was accessible for people who use the keyboard for maneuvering a site. All it took was adding another event handler &mdash onkeypress. I also added a note that JavaScript needed to be turned on to change the style. Other work arounds for the JavaScript issue are explained in Links & JavaScript Living Together in Harmony from evolt.org. The article includes code samplings.
