Given that this is the most common way around server redirects, and these redirect pages don't present content themselves and endeavor to avoid excess user interaction, I don't consider this to be a problem with accessibility. If the page being refreshed contained words intended for the user to read (e.g., splash pages), I would have different thoughts, but the text on redirect pages is usually nothing more than a safety net. If necessary, it's possible to require ACSS not to speak the redirect text to avoid disorientation. But the fact is that it is unprofessional and as a result unacceptable for many content providers to require an unnecessary clickthrough. - mReceived on Monday, 11 June 2001 03:05:13 GMT
