On my experience working on BrailleNet(France) with blind people, new window is not a real problem if somewhere on code developper take time to say that the link open in a new window. Pop-up windows have more problems because they use scripts and a lot of people don't accept scripts (there is some solutions about that i think). For us, two solutions can be made : 1. Write directly on link that the link will open in a new window. 2. On link title attribute specify for example: title="Visit W3c Website (New window)" Users i know, say to us that with this warning they don't have problems with new windows. And on my own opinion new windows on HTML "_blank" is HTML valid so can't be forbiden just adapt to make it more accessible yoan SIMONIAN ###########o0°Association BrailleNet °0o ###### cellule accessibilité 9 Quai Saint-Bernard 75 252 PARIS Cedex 5 tel : 01 44 27 26 25 http://www.braillenet.org/accessibilite http://www.accessiweb.org ################################################ -----Message d'origine----- De : w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org] De la part de Jon Gibbins Envoyé : mardi 18 novembre 2003 18:46 À : info@atutor.ca; w3c-wai-ig@w3.org > What about opening a help window? Is it possible for a browser to detect the use of a screen reader? Or other assistive technology? If it could, wouldn't it make life easier for designers? An alternative text description of such things as help windows (or complex images like maps) could be sent to the screen reader in place of the object. Could Javascript be used to open a help window, or, alternatively, send some text to the screen reader if one is detected? .j PS :: Coincidence? Have been looking at Atutor today and forwarded information to a friend.
