The ADA does have quite a bit of legal force in the United States.

However, I just read the ADA this weekend, and nowhere does it mention web
sites.  It was in a 1996 letter to Senator Tom Harkin from the Department of
Justice that expanded the ADA to include communications that are done via
the internet.

Just FYI.
