Yes, one thing that happens with banner adds is that as you are trying to read a page with a screen reader, when they change, you are yanked back to the top of the page often long before you have finished examining the contents of the page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hewitt, Denise" <Denise.Hewitt@idea.com> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 7:17 PM Subject: Accessibility and Pop-Up Ads I honestly don't browse enough with lynx or a voice browser to really run into a lot of pop up ads, but I just saw one which pretty much took over the entire page at weather.com (for a war movie on HBO. Planes flew all over the screen, and all sorts of other annoying things took place). I guess i am wondering in what cases do banner ads / interstitial ads / etc impact browsing, and second to that, if banner ads, etc cause enough of a problem that they can make a page inaccessible. I hope my questions make sense... any thoughts? Denise
