Hey,
Oh the code is horrid. No question. What I am being told is that
Peoplesoft/Oracle are *working on it* and there is nothing the developer
using the tools can do.
Drill down into a discussion with a development team and you find out
that if they do change the way the HTML is then when/if they upgrade
everything breaks. So I am told.
What I am looking for is a case where: (a) people have an accessible
deployment or (b) people have been forced to ditch it because of
accessibility. I am hoping for (a) cause you can't convince a Peoplesoft
developer that what they are using is essentially a dated tool set that
is a throwback to 1996... and with the amount they make consulting I can
see why. According to them: It is all powerful, does all things, nothing
can handle the loads it does (it chokes on 5000 or less simultaneous
users) and nothing can touch it.
But really its just a tool that generates SQL and code for the front end
in a visual authoring environment... There are (or was) a lot of uni's
using it as they had some big add blitz in the late 90's promising all
things to all people with regards to admissions, someone must have some
idea ;)

Hi
You could try running it through HTML tidy... or maybe you could write
your own frontend to their backend?
Do you have some example pages?

Hi,
I am getting the total run around here from developers on
Oracle/Peoplesoft and I was hoping someone on this list could help. My
couple questions:
- Does anyone know of an accessible PeopleSoft built application?
- Has the issue of PeopleSoft generated code been an issue or is the
responsibility that of the company using it?
- Does anyone know if, besides white papers, Oracle/PeopleSoft are
actually working on standard code that is accessible?
- How customizable is the HTML PeopleSoft spits out?
Thanks ahead of time...
Jesse
