Therefore, we need a international law that says every web in public developer must by law create text, number, forms and edit boxes htat are accessible on the same site aas the sighted people use. The American blind organization should have good lobby people in Washington. Or what? Then, they can talk to the world blind organizations etc.
Take care Terje Strømberg -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: tony c [mailto:[email protected]] Sendt: 13. juni 2011 13:26 Til: [email protected] Emne: the web!! Hi guys, I’m new here and joined in order to find out how other people a dealing with the issues of the web and not being able to access what seems to be more and more web content. I have had just in the last couple of weeks several occasions where Win Eyes just says “Button”. Thing is is that it isn’t Win Eyes that isn’t reading correctly. The web design is not accessible. Just as alt-tags shoult be either empty or contain a text description of the graphic, or picture the buttons have to be labeled correctly by the web designer. Someone either dropped the ball or maybe “sold us out” when it comes to accessibility on the web. Web sites that I have used for years with no trouble are now changing to a “more graphical” (user friendly) user interface. I guess they have to put pictures instead of text for the vast majority who can’t read (big grin). Netflix just started changing their website this past Saturday and what part is already changed is no longer accessible to screen readers. tony If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
