Comments on: The eight top accessibility faults in government web sites https://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=60 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 22:25:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Blake https://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=60&cpage=1#comment-337 Blake Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:00:23 +0000 http://www.lowvisionary.nz/?p=60#comment-337 Thanks for posting this. I am looking forward to exploring the AccEase site you mentioned. I am a student and I do small Web projects on the side. I want to learn more about accessibility for users who have low vision or blindness.

I strive for simple, meaningful markup, but I want to know more about things like access keys.

I would appreciate any further resources you could offer.

You are really restrained about pdfs-they must surely rank as one of the most annoying impediments to the general progress of humanity, and up there with the blokes who insist on sending their young blokes off to war with other young blokes, via a scenic excursion or two to create mayhem for some nearby civilians, or that fiendish soul who invented childproof lids.
I have heard EVERY rationalisation of pdf-only documents, and I find them all highly inadequate. If someone is utterly convinced of the value of pdfs
I say they must provide alternatives. You could always pepper them with demands for alternatives that are non-pdf. Mutter about the NZ Disability strategy, or th UN Disability Convention. Don’t let them fob you off with a website either- you can often spend ages trying to find the information, or what is on the website is a pared-down version of what’s in the pdf. If we’re really lucky, they will become less used, like those little electronic games thinggeys kids used to play in the eighties.
