John in Brisbane Tech: website for the blind, easy or not? (33) RE: Tech: website for the blind, easy or not? 15 Oct 04


I'm legally blind, but can't really add too much to the above, except that I use Opera as my browser of choice because it has easily accessible magnification rates up to 1000%. This dialogue box is a good example of bad design for the sight impaired. On any magnification greater than 100% the words that I type disappear beyond the right margin.

I don't know the techie stuff but some sites are superb in that as you magnify the text stays within the frame.

You'll get my vote if you achieve that at your site.

Regards, John

PS When I'm travelling I've virtually given up using public/paid internet cafes. The standard text enlargement on MSIE just isn't large enough for me. As an aside I was in Darwin mid-year for the Top Half Folk Festival. Every internet cafe and library I visite had black Compaq keyboards with dark lettering. I don't touch type so I couldn't use 'em.
