Hi.
just had a look, looks acessible.
would be handy to have a e-mail newsletters, for new products, services, and a
maybe a chat application, or message board or forum, where you can buy and
swap, and exchange information, sort of loike like a sort of e-bay and say msn
chat or msn blog, or msn formu combined.
what do you think?
was able to do a quick search for star trek on dvd, and found quite a few, just
to test the site for accessibility, clicked on a link, and it took me to a
page, where i could then purchase online.
great job so far.
cheers Marvin.----- Original Message -----

Subject: Looking for beta testers for accessible AJAX service
Hopefully this isn't off topic, but I need beta testers from the blind
community if anyone is interested.
The service is an AJAX driven Amazon.com search engine, which is now live at
http://gutterstar.net/amazon.php
It includes quite a few accessibility enhancements, including focus
redirection when new pages load, and the following hotkey shortcuts:
Alt+S = Search edit field.
Alt+` = The main dynamic content header.
Alt+B = Back in the virtual browser history.
Alt+F = Forward in the virtual browser history.
There is also a fairly comprehensive header structure as well, which makes it
very easy to skip between product sections while browsing.
I haven't made the service public yet, because I would like to get people's
input to see if there is anything that I can do to make the service
1. Easier to use.
2. More accessible for screen reader users.
3. more reliable by identifying any missed bugs.
If you would like to send me any feedback, I'd really appreciate it. Please
email me at
bryan.garaventa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll likely see it first at this address.
Thanks,
Bryan
