Also, the pop-up menus items cannot be selected using the keyboard.

I'm not sure they are I am not looking for an in-depth report as I could run that myself. Just interested in opinions on the site as it appears to you guys that use Assistive Tech, etc. Maybe it's accessible, from a technical standpoint. But I'm not even sure about that. When you see "document.write" in the <head>, little red flags immediately pop up. I looked at it in Opera, in Author mode, which linearizes everything and dumps style sheets. You can make sense of it at all. They are also using Javascript for a lot of the functionality, some of which is not necessary. For example, it's used to control the print output. They could have just assigned a print stylesheet. I also looked at it in the Lynx emulator, and it fails there too. Seems to be a lot of images without the alt attribute applied.

I'm not sure they are Dear All, I have just read a press release from an agency that has built a site that is supposed to be accessible to the most current W3C standards for visually impaired people. Well, I have taken a look and cannot make haed nor tail of it through my Lynx browser and got most confused. As I don't rely on this all the time, I was wondering if someone else could tell me that either I am being stupid or that I am right and this website is not as accessible as it claims.
