RE: Accessibility of Salt Lake Olympic Site

Thanks Mike
 
Yes I did mean JavaScript - just being lazy typing - but I take the point. It
is important to differentiate for clarity. Thanks:-)

Denise,
 
I got that, I wish the guy who wrote the wave was still with us, he would
explain it to me.  I think it is something with the Java script...lets be clear
here Java and JavaScript are different...though both can be troublesome LOL

Ah yes - that was the problem I listed in my earlier email. I tried with Lynx
and got the same message. The site does need a no-frames text only alternative
to cater for users with browsers that don't support frames and JAVA etc.

The reason I asked is because it seems as though the site has moved to another
server - hence the reason WAVE could not analyse it. I get this message when I
try to run WAVE: 

Welcome to the Official Site 
of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games 
The page you have requested either is temporarily unavailable, outdated, or no
longer exists on our servers. We apologize for

the inconvenience. This page will refresh in 15 seconds to the 
www.saltlake2002.com home page. 

But if I try to run WAVE at that URL I go around in circles - ie I get the same
message again and am redirected back to itself. BIZARRE!!!!!!
