  1. If style sheets are ignored or unsupported, are pages still readable and usable?

  2. If you use color to convey information, make sure the information is also represented another way. (2 instances)
    Line 17: <td height="75" align="left" valign="middle" bgcolor="#990000">
    Line 18: <a href="http://www.lib.cwu.edu/"><img src="/images/logo1copy.jpg" width=285 height=57 alt="" border="0" align="top"></a>
  3. If an image conveys important information beyond what is in its alternative text, provide an extended description. (1 instance)
    Line 18: <a href="http://www.lib.cwu.edu/"><img src="/images/logo1copy.jpg" width=285 height=57 alt="" border="0" align="top"></a>
  4. If a table has two or more rows or columns that serve as headers, use structural markup to identify their hierarchy and relationship. (5 instances)
    Line 14: <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="8">
    Line 30: <table align=center width="80%">
