Re: Americans with Disabilities Act

Thanks Jacob,

In my haste to try and get info on the ADA I had completely forgotten about Section 508.

Thanks for the link.

Kindest regards

  No, but there's lots you can read up on at http://section508.gov (check out the "508 law" link at the top).

  The ADA predates the Internet and the Web and there are no explicit references  in it to the Web or online actibities.

    Hi,

    I have been asked to provide a colleague with some information about the specific areas of the ADA that relate to online Activities. I know where to find the relevant info with regards to the DDA over here in the UK but I am not as familiar with the ADA.

    Anyone got any pointers?

    Kindest regards
