Hi Karen, I'm not offering myself up as an expert, but there is no real laww lording over this entity except perhaps ada which might worrk. Accessible to whom? I can use jaws 8..0 to see if I can access the site but I'd encourage anyone interested in accessibility to read: hhttp://www.w3.org/wai/ There, they can pick out documents describing accessibility of web content and interfaces from a number of different angles. One thing you might want to point out to the folk is that if their site is not accessible, it may be possible for them to become embroiled in legalities over it and that accessible does not mean jaws any xxx.

I am seeking a pro whom I will direct to folks at jp morgan-chase. I just had I admit a shouting match regarding a supervisor's claim that since the site works with jaws 7.2 it is legally accessible. Of course you have to be using this perhaps, I doubt it would work regardless, to reach it. he would not provide this information in writing simply claim you can find it on their site. If you can get there. lots of java links, not even javascript . Never mind my pointing out that access is not tied to the screen reader but the site itself. let alone the holes in jaws itself. Any takers? on a side note, I would welcome finding an expert for a possible radio piece too. Thanks and off-list replies welcome, Karen _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
