RE: [WSG] reply from ACA

[Miles Tillinger]

Seems like they glazed over when reading the accessibility information in your original email.  This is all to familiar for me as there are ppl you can explain the benefits of standards to 10x a day and they still forget what it all means by the next day...  In most cases if it's a small site then the person maintaining it is probably not very web-savvy and probably knows little or nothing of the HTML/CSS that formats the site behind the scenes.  As long as they can publish content with Frontpage then that's all they'll ever want...

You all might be interested in the reply I received from the ACA in response to my email. I leave it to speak for itself.

Dear Mr Gifford,

 Pleqase accept my apologies for the delay in respond to your email.

We are aware of some issues with the use of the ACA Website and Apple operating systems and are currently working on a fix to the solution. Unfortunately this would appear not to be a simple solution and therefore may take some time.

As I'm sure you can appreciate maintaining a site that renders well in all browser and operating systems is a constant battle for the ACA, however we do endeavour to provide equal access to all users.

It may be of some benefit for you to access our site map at (http://www.aca.gov.au/help/sitemap.htm), which will provide you with static html links to all pages.
