You may be confusing the ADA with Section 508 of the Rehab Act. Technically speaking, the ADA does not cover the web. The Justice Department has said you should act like it does, and that they are going to change the rules -- but they haven't yet. Some courts have ruled that the ADA covers the web, others have not.
