I guess I don't understand the whole thing. How can blind people see blind accessible websites? Does brail pop out of the computer screen or what?

I use to be an intervenor and the individual I worked with was blind, but he was able to surf the internet. Basically, a cursor is moved by using tab and the highlighted word is spoken aloud by a computer voice.

next on blind people's list.... video games.... suing sony, nintendo, and microsoft for not making their systems blind-friendly. no brail on the buttons and no way for them to know what is happening on the screen.

It was genious sir.I work in real estate development, and let me tell you, we spend so much money on such a small minority of the population. We're building *3-story* houses, and yet everything has to be ADA compliant. I dunno about you, but if I were handicap, I wouldn't want to buy a 3-story house.

[DonkSlayer 1]

I'm just fine with public institutions needing to be handicap-accessible.And, regardless of whether they have to or not, I don't think any major retailer would want the protests and negative-pr that not being handicap-accessible would bring about.But, websites? Puhlease.

The plaintiffs charge that target.com fails to meet the minimum standard of web accessibility. It lacks compliant alt-text, an invisible code embedded beneath graphic images that allows screen readers to detect and vocalize a description of the image to a blind computer user. It also contains inaccessible image maps and other graphical features, preventing blind users from navigating and making use of all of the functions of the website. And because the website requires the use of a mouse to complete a transaction, blind Target customers are unable to make purchases on target.com independently.

This is the main argument of the plaintiffs and it really isnt all that unreasonable. I'm guessing that most retailer websites are already coded in this fashion. Basically, whoever coded the Target website sucks as a programmer. Pay some money to have someone who knows how to develope a good website and this wouldnt happen. If youre a bigtime retailer, you dont need the fanciest website out there. It should actually be extremely simple since you want anyone and everyone to be able to access your site.

The ADA has gone too far. I'm all for ramps, but they cant have the internet. If some websites will be nice enough to do it, that's fine. How do they click on things? Don't you need some type of hand-eye coordination to work on a computer?
