Ask an Expert About Web Site Accessibility

Posted by Roblimo on from the giving-everybody-a-chance-to-play dept.

Joe Clark is an expert on handicapped accesibility for movies, TV, the WWW, and other media. The launch party for his new book, Building Accessible Websites , is Dec. 3, which is also the International Day of Disabled Persons, so this a perfect time to ask questions about how to make a Web site -- or a TV show or movie -- accessible. As usual, we'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Joe, and run his answers verbatim when we get them back.

    The cover of this guy's Web Site Accessibility book is bizzarely reminiscent of that goatsx guy. Ugh.

    Talking about Flash, a first step would be to provide a courtesy "Skip intro" link

    Most times, if I don't see a "skip intro" link when some stupid fluff starts fading in from black, I make my own: the "back arrow". On to the next site.
