are not people's computers a better place for Accessibility... meaning if there is a webstandard, cannot the computers standards and tools do the work for the webmaster?
meaning the area in the control panel... accessibility options... shouldn't this be something that computer makers are doing, not webmasters?
or is this everyone's job?
The computers and software can assist you creating accessible web sites, but not alone.

Sorry for delay getting back to you all, been on the road returning to UK for Xmas.
Which is????? (just curious)Originally Posted by anuvatech
Yiasas Krisidious,
The problem is no amount of software in the world can read a webpage that is not there in any form of text! Frames, flash, java, all pose particular problems to text readers. These problems need to be accounted for when the designer writes the page script. In spite of claims of "we will not list pages without simple alt tags to all images" (alternative attributes for the puritanical!)does not seem to work and many times I have come across sites who fail to do this. If you do not provide information on what an image is, how can software "see" the picture?
Many years ago I pointed out to Kellogg's that tonythetiger.com a games site for kids was built totally in images, and was so heavy it would crash most kids computers in those days. This surprised them as it worked fine on their computers!!!! Yawn!!!!
Things have moved on a bit now but if large organisations do not comply or are not aware what chance have we got??? (but threaten their listing on search engines??)
Tired of hitting a brick wall I now potter about on a Greek island for 9 - 10 months of the year, but the accessibility subject is still close to my heart deep down. I believe that corporate America still lead the way on Internet policy and as long as Dracula is in charge of the blood bank.........!
They just buy their solutions or more to the point the individuals who decide policy employing them as "Consultants"
I am very proud of a stroppy email I once got from Microsoft saying that I was accusing Microsoft of being a "Borg like entity" which was not the case.
Sure...............
