    Text only version of web site

    Does anyone know where I can see some asp (vbscript) code to convert a web
    page into a text only version, like for accessibility?
    Example at

    My html is stored in a database so it can be easily manipulated, but it is
    not XML.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Do not use presenational markup, and use a blank stylesheet. I would
    also suggest that you use semantic markup, and validate it.

    eg: <a href="<%=reques t.servervariabl es("SCRIPT_NAME ")%>?
    style=blank.css ">Text Only</a>

    <%
    if request.queryst ring("style") = "blank.css" then
    %>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet " href="blank.css ">
    <% else %>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet " href="regular.c ss">
    <% end if%>

    You can set some sessions so that the blank stylesheet remains when the
    user is navigating through the site.
