Without going into the legallities of any one country, your site will be accessible to vision impaired visitors if it is 'Lynx friendly.'
http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html The above site provides a Lynx Viewer. Plug in your URL and browse your site. If all your content is there, you shouldn't have a problem. Just jump through the Bobby hoops and everything should be fine. Essentially, the Lynx Viewer produces the same displayed results as User Mode does in Opera, with the exception of not displaying images or pictures. The real test is the JAWS test, though, if you really want to be sure, but who can afford that technology unless they need it themselves?

If so, to what websites does it apply and has anyone taken any websites to court over not being accessible? What I could find so far only the following: - http://www.sportslawnews.com/archive/Articles%202000/SportsBriefs904.htm Are there any links to what standards certain websites need to apply? I believe this has been asked before however a quick scan though my mailbox did not return anything.
