I think not. All they need to do is to label all buttons with text labels for screen readers. And it would seem obvious that there should be an "add to cart" button for each individual item regardless of whether you can or cannot see. It wouldn't be that much work to put the same button in several places. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Brandt" <katya20707@comcast.net> > > To: <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> > > Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 11:38 PM > > Subject: [CnD] Hi, re adding to cart on Schwans web site > > > > > >> > >> We need to get on them again.
