So this is not a screen reader issue. Then Target must be deliberately
blocking access to its web site to all consumers, blind and sighted alike,
who use certain browsers. This makes absolutely no sense. The rocket
scientists at Target who designed their web site are the same lame brains
who are probably now wondering why their holiday sales are down.
Unbelievable.

Generally, The websites are programmed to see what type of browsers are
accessing them. Then the sites are developed to give the best visual
display
to the browsers that most often access them. Thus, I am not sure why the
IE
8 would not display as good as IE 9.

I was under the impression that Target had made a serious effort to
improve
the accessibility of its web site for blind consumers.
So imagine my surprise when I attempted to visit Target.com today and got
the following error message:
Target Home Page
Problems viewing Target.com ?
It's because your browser isn't supported. Upgrade to one of the latest

What the heck is going on here? What do they mean that my browser is not
supported? I'm running XP Pro with IE 8, so since when is this browser
not
supported? IE 8 is the latest version of Internet Explorer that can run
under XP, which, the last time I checked will continue to be supported by
Microsoft through at least 2014. And don't even get me started with
Firefox. Is there some reasonable explanation for this message? Could my
screen reader, JAWS 9, be the culprit? Is there a work around for this
problem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
