  1. Visit Screen Readers Sometimes Ignore display:none Screen Readers Sometimes Ignore display:none

    http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200711/screen_readers_sometimes_ignore_displaynone/

    Just when you thought you understood this whole accessibility thing. Roger points out that a screen readers are even more picky that previously thought. However, there is a simple and effective workaround that shouldn't cause any headaches.

  2. Visit Why Accessibility? Because It’s Our Job! Why Accessibility? Because It’s Our Job!

    http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/10/16/why-accessibility-because-its-our-job/

    As if to prove Sitepoint's users are not all ignorant, this article on accessibility has some really excellent points to consider. Also has one of the best quotes on accessibility I've ever read: "A chef must care about health, a builder must care… More

  3. Visit Ignorance and inspiration Ignorance and inspiration

    http://adactio.com/journal/1359

    Jeremy Keith, who's book I'm currently reading (DOM Scripting), recently put together a few links from the Sitepoint forum that show just how uneducated some of the masses are when it comes to accessibility.

  4. Visit Testing Designs for Color-Blindness Testing Designs for Color-Blindness

    http://www.zeldman.com/2007/10/10/testing-designs-for-color-blindness/

    Zeldman points to a couple of resources that will help you test your web design's color and contrast through the eyes of those with color-blindness. Accessibility isn't just about the hearing-impaired, you know.

  5. Visit Taking Aim at Target(.com) Taking Aim at Target(.com)

    http://www.webstandards.org/2006/02/09/taking-aim-at-targetcom/

    WaSP wins the award for best pun in an entry title for this excellent article on the Target scandal. Yes, I said scandal. Come on, this is as juicy as it gets for us, live it up.

  6. Visit More on Target and Accessibility More on Target and Accessibility

    http://www.maxdesign.com.au/2007/10/04/target-and-accessible-websites/

    Max Design has more on the lawsuit filed against Target yesterday in the state of California. Good to see accessibility getting the spotlight, but at the same time... Might be a little scary?

  7. Visit Suing Companies Over Inaccessible Websites Suing Companies Over Inaccessible Websites

    http://www.christianmontoya.com/2007/10/04/suing-companies-over-inaccessible-websites/

    Christian Montoya gives his take on website accessibility and it's implications to companies. He does a pretty good job of looking at the issue from a few different standpoints.

  8. Visit Don’t Provide Text Resize Widgets — Educate Don’t Provide Text Resize Widgets — Educate

    http://accessites.org/site/2007/09/dont-provide-text-resize-widgets-educate/

    More on the idea of teaching people how to resize the text in their browsers. It's a simple idea, and I don't know why it hasn't caught on before now. You work hard to ensure they CAN, now make sure they DO.

  9. Visit Lead a Man to Font-Size Lead a Man to Font-Size

    http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200709/scrap_text_resize_widgets_and_teach_people_how_to_resize_text/

    Roger is an expert when it comes to accessibility, and he's hit on something really important here. Instead of just making sure our sites resize correctly, why not teach people how to take advantage of all your hard work?

  10. Visit Tabs, Used Right: The 13 Usability Guidelines Tabs, Used Right: The 13 Usability Guidelines

    http://www.useit.com/alertbox/tabs.html

    What with all the talk of Amazon's tabs, I thought I'd highlight this post by Jakob Nielsen, in which he discusses the usability and accessibility of tabs, and their place on the page. Good, long, read.
