Subject: much needed assistance...please help
No previous message | Next message →

I'm doing a study that involves determining the benefits of accessible
online content designed using the Section 508 and WAI Guidelines for
adolescents with and without learning disabilities... But need experts
in web accessibility to check the pages for compliance/non-compliance so
as to verify site accessibility (hint, hint...).

In efforts to promote the benefits of accessibility to all learners
(and help out a starving, half-awake doc student), would someone be
willing to check these sites for a quick review?

http://www.accessibility.faithweb.com/rap/NHome.htm
http://www.accessibility.faithweb.com/rap/Regular/Rhome.htm

Compensation can be in the form of chocolate e-cookies, candy .jpg's,
or whichever you prefer, or can see if I can find a vendor to
compensate...Please help?????

Thanks so much,
Christine

Christine,

Your sites appear to be very accessible. I like the way your alt tags tell
who the graphic is a picture of. I was able to use Jaws 4.0 to find out the
first Rap record.

The first url in your list appears to meet almost all of the Section 508
standards. The one left out is Item (O) to provide a skip navigation link.
For example on the first page in the body of the html provide an anchor to
link to the section of the page that says "Welcome to Rapquest." and on the
history page provide an anchor to DJ's in Rap. This type of link is needed on
each of the pages with a set of navigation links at the beginning of the page.

Versions one and three look like they "may" be accessible (I did not check
all of the pages), two and four look like they have problems. The little red
rap dude does not have an ALT attribute, neither does the menu bar. And the
<MARQUEE> is not standard HTML. It showed up sometimes in my browser (IE
6.0), but mostly did not work. In any case, moving text is problematic due
to the "flicker" requirements of 508.

Not sure what you are tying to accomplish, but I tend to dislike frames
(personal preference) and you seem to be able to manage a decent design with
tables in version one and three.

If you are simply looking for accessibility issues, why not run it through
Bobby first?
