hi Bryan,
i went to your webpage:

http://whatsock.com/tsg/


great work! for developers who do not know anything about coding for
accessibility, you had provided useful tips for them.

now there's one more app at the site that is giving problem. after
looking through your whatsup site, i am not sure which recommendations
apply to the app.
if you go to

www.airasia.com/asia


you are placed in 'return ticket' radio button box
arow 2 times down reaches the problematic app for choosing destination.
i don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes not. but finding the
right destination is difficult.

so which of the recommendations in your what's up page will deal with
the problem or it is not covered there?

thanks

best regards,
tania
