Here's another post that some of you may be interested in.
June 14 at 2 PM Eastern EASI is providing a public Webinar on creating=20
forms in PDF, Word or HTML that are fully accessible to users with =
disabilities
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Let me give you a personal example. I use a screen reader. I use a=20
courseware system for some online teaching. There is a place for me to=20
manage class members and to add them. I have to fill in form fields =
like=20
first name, last name, email and more. When I use the tab field and =
reach=20
a form field, my screen reader informs me it is an edit field. GOOD! =
In=20
this case, I am told it wants first name. . . also last name. . also =
email.=20
. . also I have to create a student username and password. All that is=20
great! then there are maybe 10 more edit fields on the form. When I =
tab=20
to them, I get no information other than it is an edit field. I know it =
is=20
asking for tons of things like birthday, city, phone and lots of other=20
details. I do not need or want those details. Happily the form does =
not=20
require me to fill them either. So, happily, I just skip them and =
submit=20
and all is well. I have been to sites wanting my credit card information=
=20
but I get edit fields with no labels and have to give up. I fear maybe=20
I'll end up ordering 10 or 20 items instead of one and lose a lot of =
money.
**** Now, come to our Webinar and learn how to make forms accessible
