Thank you Lucy. What were the top rankings? And, may I ask what tool your school uses for forms?

Hello:
I have only seen that tool used for surveys and when we ranked it as part of a survey of surveys it was the 4th out of 5 tools. They have been saying they would fix access problems for over 5 years now and I find they
just keep adding more stuff that does not work.

Greetings (apologies for cross posting)

We are moving to a new website and are using Wufoo for forms, (forms such as admissions forms that students complete online and submit back to the
school) however I have found these to be inaccessible (when an error is made, a message pops up asking the user to redo the parts highlighted below. Of course, someone who is blind cannot see what is highlight
below)

When I point out this problem I was told "everyone on the planet" uses woofoo for forms. Do you know of other companies who support forms that are fully accessible?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
