Update on NFB v. Target

This email is to update the list regarding the NFB v. Target web
accessibility litigation.  

 

Today the judge in the matter has issued her opinion regarding the motion to
certify a class action.  The motion has been granted and now moves forward
as a class action on behalf of persons who are blind in California and in
the United States who have attempted to access the Target.com website and as
a result have been denied access to the enjoyment of goods and services
offered in Target stores.

 

ICDRI will post the opinion once permission has been granted for us to post
it.

 

Best regards,

Cynthia Waddell

Subject: data tables test page

 

Hi 

 

A couple of years ago Russ Weakley and I put together some data tables that
we asked people to test. The tables used different accessibility features
and we were keen to see which ones people found the most effective.

 

Anyway, the world has moved on; screen readers have got better and we
received a number of suggestions about how to improve our original tables.
As a result, we have now prepared a new page with some different tables. 

 

We would greatly appreciate any feedback about the accessibility of these
tables - in particular which ones are more or less accessible for screen
reader users and why. Also, suggestions for how the tables could be
improved. 

 

The test tables on page titled "Data Table Accessibility Test Update" at
http://usability.com.au/resources/tabletestupdate.cfm

 

Thanks 

 

Roger
