Colour blindness Red-green colour blindness affects one in twenty white males. Using the wrong combination of colours can make a page unreadable and impossible to navigate. Alternative Browsers and Access TechnologyThis section treats all browsers other than Netscape 3,4 and Microsoft 3,4 as alternative browsers. Screen-reader software reads a Web page one line at a time, horizontally across the page. They give a very similar representation as Lynx does.
Lynx therefore becomes a useful tool to visualise an aural rendering.
An interesting point was the use of a navigation bar down the left-hand side of a page. To audio browsers, they impose a significant performance overhead on audio-based visitors, as the content of the navigational bar is rendered over and over, with each new page. They can convey the false impression that navigational attempts have been unsuccessful. For the first minute or so, every page sounds same. However why not uses this Alt statement to signpost the following information.
