Some links for light reading (10/2/04)
- Dracos - Accessibility - “A recent hobby of mine has been to take an inaccessible website and produce a more accessible version that if necessary fetches information from the original site to keep up to date.”
- RNIB - Web Accessibility centre - a good place to start to find out about accessibility
- Hicks Design - skip navigation links “Skip Navigation links, traditionally hidden with the CSS property display:none, are invisible to screen readers…”
- Joe Clark - brief comment on visible skip navigation “You’re not going to like this, but to make a lengthy list of links accessible, your “Skip navigation” link must be visible. It doesn’t have to be intrusive, but it has to be apparent and self-explanatory in all browsers.”
- Andy Budd - Design for Accessibility (128k pdf) - a great introduction to accessibility for designers and developers
- A tutorial on character code issues (incredibly in-depth article)
