Talk:Web accessibility

message: This article has been moved from the blindness page, since it has little to do with the condition of sight-loss. Web accessibility needs a lot of help though, so please feel free to add constructively. Kael 00:21, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Benefits for companies/authors: If authored with accessibility in mind, the web page will display and be usable on more devices. IMHO this is getting more important as devices are constantly getting more diverse: Think e.g. about the different screen sizes of mobile devices, or consider that some people will want to browse via their TV's remote control - a couple of shortcuts mapping e.g. the key "1" to "homepage" will help a lot (it will also help cellphone users). --Stachelfisch 20:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Point for Discussion: As well as accessibility features for the mainstream browsers, should we add a further section listing common, dedicated disabled friendly browsers; I'm thinking specifically of pwWebSpeak (which I personally use) or others listed on the 
RNIB Web Browsers Page
(or simply directly reference this page)?

message: Since there's already a sentence on Pas_78 with a link to the article, I didn't see need for the addition of specifics from these guidelines in this article.  Perhaps they could fit in the Pas_78 article? --Ronz 15:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The link to the Lynx view tools that used to point to pizzaseo.com is to a tool that seems currently partially broken (although the link is not broken, the tool produces garbage output when used to test some sites). For this reason I replaced the link with one pointing to the Lynx view tool at yellowpipe which appears to be reliable. If there any problems are discovered with these tools, please comment on them here.
OK, I will check it, as I jave just used the tool for few sites and it worked correctly. What was the error you were getting? --dusoft 19:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Aging in itself is not a disability, though it certainly correlates with many deficiencies and disabilities.  The article already lists specific needs to address.  "Aging" is not a specific and listing it implies that there are other needs not already listed. --Ronz 20:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree - I am a professional in the field, and the five classes of disabilities that we have listed in the article at present are the only ones I have ever seen mentioned in any credible resource on web accessibility. Clearly the effects of aging that necessitate assistive technologies all fall within one of those five groups, precluding the need for aging as a separate category.

text: But what needs to be considered about aging? That older people can't see well? That's addressed by mentioning visual disabilities. That older people can't hear well? That's addressed by mentioning auditory disabilities. That older people may not have finely-tuned motor skills? That's addressed by mentioning motor disabilities. That older people don't have the mental acuity that they once did? That's addressed by mentioning cognitive disabilities. If a designer addresses those four, what more should he or she be aware of in terms of aging? What else can he or she do that would make his or her site more accessible to older people? I still fail to see where you are coming from. What specifically about aging would you like considered that doesn't fall into one of the categories above? Acdixon 15:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Section 2 of this article looks like a debate. Is there a tag for that? (If not, maybe somebody could create one - I have no idea how)

message: With due respect to previous editors, the first paragraph seems longer and more detailed than I have seen in other articles. Please see WP:MOSINTRO. I am proposing to move the examples ("For example, when ...") to a new section within the body of the article, and to present them as a list for clarity. Comments welcome.
