of J.K. Rowling's site are wizards at creating accessibility
British author J.K. Rowling, creator of the wildly popular Harry
Potter series, uses technology
http://www.jkrowling.co.uk Official SIte
to create some additional magic on her official web site. [a
text-only version is the solution?]:

The site, designed by Lightmaker
http://www.lightmaker.com/
in coordination with RNIB and Macromedia:
I'm surprised that RNIB is featuring this on their website:
* The official site of Harry Potter author J K Rowling,
(<http://www.jkrowling.co.uk/>www.jkrowling.co.uk), has been relaunched
* with enhanced accessibility features. Designers of the site,
Lightmaker, have worked closely with
* RNIB and Macromedia to develop this pioneering new version
which pushes the boundaries of
* accessible Flash. See
<http://www.lightmaker.com/company/index.cfm?section=latest_news&press_id=26>Lightmaker
press release for further information.
and Macromedia, has recently been updated to give universal access to
internet users
who may be disabled, deaf, or visually impaired. It serves as a
terrific model for how schools
can make their own web sites fully accessible to stakeholders....
Note that links are positionally sensitive pop-ups to further offset pop-ups.
What an education and outreach opportunity!
