I guess it's going to take another law suit like that one against the Olympics2000 site to get anyone to take users with special needs seriously and actually lift a finger to cater to their needs.
What would that "lift a finger" actually consist of? I'm specifically curious how that relates to the many individual site developers who certainly don't "have a usability lab" nor projects budgeted to hire a screen-reader-wielding consultant.
The conclusion I'm being forced towards is that developers are basically saying that users with special needs will have to swim for themselves and it's up to them to find some software of their own to get around all the obstacles the A/Bs put in their way.
Are you saying that sites designed to web standards are by default full of "obstacles"? Or that conformance to web standards is simply orthogonal to accessibility? -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- has...@webtuitive.com webtuitive design === (+1) 408-621-3445 === http://webtuitive.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan dream. code. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
