Hello Jonathan and others,
Thanks so much for setting me straight on the problems encountered with the
wireless connection.
I think you definitely have an access issue, or should I say lack of access.
By the way, Keyweb is quite user friendly. I've had no problems using it to
access the Net.
Take care all.
Liz

Hi all, the issue with Internet access at the ACB Convention is quite
complex, and most definitely frustrating. On the screen was a button that
needed to be pressed to signify your agreement with the terms and
conditions. Some screen readers had trouble seeing this button, and the
hotel advised that pressing alt-I would access the I Agree button. The
BrailleNote was not seeing this button either, and under Windows CE, I
don't believe keyboard shortcuts are supported. I was not able to find out
what kind of technology was making the button, but it could possibly have
been a kind of Javascript that Pocket IE wasn't seeing. Had the I agree
Button been a standard button, KeyWeb would have been able to see it, so
we are dealing with an accessibility issue here.
I would be interested in knowing whether other devices using Pocket IE
could see this button.
In most cases, I have found that wireless access works very well, but in
some cases, like this one, the way the pages are constructed creates a
road block.
