Provide an accessible alternative if you must use a CAPTCHA

Posted Tuesday September 4, 2007, 2:50 am, Over one day old

Using alternative text, which is the normal method for making images accessible to people who can't see them, for CAPTCHA images is basically the same as removing any protection against spammers, so that obviously does not work. Audio should obviously not be used as the only option either.

Doctype switching for IE 8

Posted Tuesday February 26, 2008, 2:59 am, Over one day old
