[access-uk] Re: Can Someone Help?

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.

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 ...
