I find it hard to believe I'm reading this in the WSG. The Target website is truly appalling - we use it to illustrate some the worst possible design practices when we run training sessions. It discriminates against anyone who has to use a non-graphical user agent (not just blind people), and this is particularly unacceptable because it doesn't need to be that way. There's nothing about the content that requires the disgusting coding techniques they have used. If private companies were free to 'do whatever the hell they like' we would still have racial, religious, sex and disability discrimination to a far higher degree than we do now. Is there something special about websites that you think should exempt them from the laws that bind everything else? Or do you think that your right to 'do what the hell you like' outweighs other people's right to be treated equally? Steve

Suit is without merit and frivolous. What's next, suing vehicle manufacturers for not providing a braille manual? I'm all for accesability, but there is no reason it should be mandated, and lack of is in no was discriminatory. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
