Not at all. By contrast, Netscape doesn't give structural information to anybody, so your screen reader reads the page left to right, top to bottom. A specialized browser, such as IBM Home Page Reader or pwWebSpeak, gives structural information but may not support all the useful and silly things that can be done on a Web page. And in any case, you, the user, need to know how to use the equipment. Browser-specific Web design is one of the major problems that plague the designers of any sophisticated Web site.

Blind people, too, are likely to be using older technology. Confusions and Solutions One of the most common points of confusion on a Web page results from the use of unlabeled graphics, especially pictures indicating links. One university's site showed the photo of the head of the department as the link to go to that department's Web page. Good Web design calls for the use of Alt-text, the text labels associated with each picture. Alt-text is good design for the general public because it enables mouse users to hover the pointer over the picture and see words of explanation appear.
