Accessibility As You Type allows elements in the editor's document to display icons representing their accessible state. Currently Accessibility As You Type supports feedback for the current HTML elements:
- <IMG>
- <TABLE> (and its child elements)
- <DIV>
In order for users to utilize the Accessibility As You Type functionality, one of the following conditions must be met:
- Users are still operating the editor in their 30 day trial period, or
- An Enterprise Edition license has been installed for the editor. See the Licensing EditLive! article for more information.
