grading, etc.). My biggest complaint is that it is ASP and every little =
choice on the page causes the whole page to refresh - I can't even begin =
to tell you how annoying this is and how much it slows down what we are =
trying to do.

Disclaimer: I design web sites, and I'm somewhat of a
standards zealot.
None of these sites validate XHTML strict, and this
page (literally, my second click on the site)
https://www.norfolkacademy.org/podium/default.aspx?t=3D47052&ch=3D0&it=3D=
1
has table-based layout used as a formatting crutch,
as opposed to fully semantic markup.
This combination has the potential to render the site
inaccessible to users with disabilities.=20
Mind you, I did not go through the site with a
screenreader to see what actually happens, but these
are flags to look for when evaluating a site.
Cheers,
