Hello
Thanks for looking at this for me.
Originally the questionnaire was split up into different sections, but at
the end of each section was a link saying "Click here to continue". The
theory was something to do with if people were using a particular screen
resolution each section would fit on a screen. However, the actual
questionnaire carried on on the same page - so the "Click here to continue"
links were just like markers to the particular sections. I said that Please
cClick here to continue" links all over the place was confusing - they
should be labelled with the different section names. But it was decided to
remove the markers completely!! However, there's no reason why the
different section labels shouldn't be headings so that they can be navigated
to - and this is really what should be done! As regards this being
usability rather than accessibility, I'm interested in that as well -
because someone can have a website that (hopefully) complies with all the
technical accessibility requirements but that isn't specially usable.
I completely agree with you over the last questions where you have to rate
your experiences from 1 to 5, and have pointed this out. My suggestion was,
cold this be a drop-down list with the numbers, including what each one
stands for? This was turned down because the person designing it is
thinking of how it looks on paper and it was pointed out to me that if you
can see a line of radio buttons across the screen you know how many options
there are.

Hi, As accessability goes I think its fine, everthing seems to be labeled
correctly and when tabbing between edit boxes, radio buttons and
checkboxes the labels were read.
Because its quite a long questionnaire it might have been better to divide
it in to a couple of separate pages rather than having it all on one page,
but I'm thinking that would come more under usability than accessability.
The other thing I noticed was in the last few questions where the
respondent was asked to mark something from 1 to 5. The radio buttons for
these questions were only labelled with the number rather than the number
plus whatever the number stood for. This information was given at the
beginning of the series of questions but it would mean that if you forgot
you would have to go back to the start of those questions to check.
I was using WE 5.0.

Subject: [access-uk] Can Someone Help?
Hi All
I need some help from people who use a couple of different screenreaders
...
I am involved in a project where a questionnaire is being put on a website
for staff and students of a university to complete about their experiences
as a disabled person working for / studying at the university. I've now
used a couple of different online questionnaire systems and have views on
both.
I wonder if some people could look at this (please don't spend much time,
just a quick overview) and give me some comments on how accessible it is?
The link is http://esda.awardspace.com/staff.htm/
In my opinion, the online version has been developed to look very much
like the paper version - but I'm not sure it works online. I'll reserve
any further comments until I have some feedback!!
Anyway, see what you think ...
