Designing pages for accessibility

Optimize the work space for accessible page design
When you create accessible pages, you need to associate information, such as labels and descriptions, with your page
objects to make your content accessible to all users.
To do this, activate the Accessibility dialog box for each object, so that Dreamweaver prompts you for accessibility
