Latest Accessibility News on Accessify

Yesterday the BBC reported on a study released by Southampton University in the UK that found a 60% failure rate in UK government websites where standards compliance is concerned Ordering soma online without prescription, . Kaufen soma, Since that report on the BBC I've noticed a bit of commentary on it and received a few emails along the lines of "have you seen this?" from shocked individuals. The biggest shock for me is, köpa billiga soma, Cheap soma online, frankly, that people are shocked and surprised at all.

The BBC report certainly highlights an important issue but it also blurs some important points when it says:

"Some 60% of UK government websites contain HTML errors"

Then it later quotes the author of the study as saying:

"Although 61% of sites do not comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guide, soma sale, Köpa rabatterade soma, the 39% which do is encouraging."

Is the 60% failure figure one of HTML validation issues, as the first quotation above suggests, order soma overnight delivery, For soma online, or is it a 60% failure in terms of accessibility pass/fail ratio. If it's the latter, αγοράσετε soma, Order soma online legally, this is a little more worrying. As for the former, comprar soma de descuento, Køb discount soma, well, we all want the sites to use to validate, order soma, Florida FL Fla., but with the general mush of various layers of in-house web development, outside agency involvement and hideously bad content management systems (CMSs), comprare soma, Jotta soma verkossa, quite honestly I'd be amazed if the validation rate were anything even close to 40%.

For my money, this story tells me largely what I suspected about UK government sites (but couldn't be bothered to go out and collate the figures for myself), ordering soma online without prescription. The best part of the story, cheap soma without prescription, Cheap soma online, I think, is the finishing quote from an anonymous

'spokesman for the Cabinet Office':

"One difficulty is that many authoring tools do not generate compliant HTML and make it difficult to edit the coding .., ostaa halvalla soma. Bestill soma online, This is an issue that the IT industry must address and we are working with them on that."

It's refreshing to see a government official correctly identify that the authoring tools are often to blame here (cough, ATAG, soma generic, Louisiana LA, cough!) . But just who is 'them' in that sentence and who are the 'we' in that sentence (given that the source is unnamed), California CA Calif.. Buy cheap soma, If you have any further light to shed on this story - specifically about what those figures actually relate to - and also what action is being alluded to towards the end, I'd love to find out (use the comments please), lowest price soma.
