What do you consider inaccessible?I wholly agree, but I don't think that we're 
going to be able to influence the reliance on rich media content; look at 
Jonathon Hassles approach to this and maybe I am wrong.

  Subject: [access-uk] What do you consider inaccessible?


  In all my web browsing, I find that my biggest problem is websites that make 
jaws freeze or whip the cursor away. 

  Lots of talk goes into accessibility of websites, putting in alt text, adding 
header tags, but the worst sites are the dynamic ones that have oodles of 
functionality and applets . even if you don't use them they seem to affect the 
readability of the page. 

  Usually I just want to read a page. I can live without header tags and alt 
text and the other little accessibliity tickboxes like using CSS structuring 
instead of tables. I can live with all that . but I can't use websites that 
jump around all over the place cos they're loaded with fun.

  What I want to know is . is it just me? Please respond because I'm keen to 
refocus the accessibility debate if I'm right.
