Re: toilet map doesn't support Macs

2003-04-17 Thread Kaye and Geoff

This is not good enough for publicly funded web resources. I sent an
email and also suggested they refer their web designer to Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI) http://www.w3.org/WAI/


I just tried it with Mac (OS8.6) and Netscape 4.5 - it works well 
enough to locate public toilets in our district. A couple of pictures 
slightly overlapped the text, but the maps, zooming, and showing the 
toilets all worked.


Any problems with Mac/Netscape probably arise from their choice of 
MapInfo as the engine - it may use IE/Microsoft special features in 
the HTML code.


Cheers,
Kaye

toilet map doesn't support Macs

2003-04-16 Thread Meg Travers
Hi all,

Back on the ugly subject of government websites not supporting Macs, 
I just came across this site:
http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/
which at first amused me, until I went to this page where it states 
that the site is not useable by Macs or using Netscape
http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/browser_info.html
(I was using IE on the windows box at the time...)

Anyone other than myself interested in emailing them to let them know 
what we think?

Cheers
Meg

think it's worth contacting them about it
