Gerry, I frequently go into the Lidl site to have a look at the special buys. I just enter on one of the 2 links on the top of the page and then turn on the forms mode and C for current specials and arrow down to start of special list and I have no problem after that.

The response that came back from Aer Lingus was, as Esmund suggests, use the "Book Now" link. This works very well, but still leaves a lot of problems: 1. The ssite gives no indication of this requirement, so if you don't know to use that link you are sunk. Is there any other secret information that is required later in the process such as, for instance, online check-in? 2. Having to use a separate part of the site from everyone else is like asking a wheelchair user to go through the side alley and the kitchens instead of through the front door. 3. There are several other accessibility issues such as inappropriate alt text. See, for instance, the two links just below the "Book Now" link which both have alt text of "Graphic". None of these are acceptable. I fed this back via "Fix The Web", but have heard nothing back since then. Mind you, if you think that site is bad, have you tried the Lidl one: www.lidl.ie Take care, Gerry If you don't know where your're going, How will you know when you get there? -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Esmond Walshe Sent: 08 March 2011 17:56 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Aer Lingus Website Hi all, If you click on the 'book now' link on the main page, you will be brought to the old form that contains the correct html markup to allow you to interact with the form controls using jaws. You should be able to book a flight without any issues from here. Hope this helps Esmond On 3/8/11, Cearbhall O'Meadhra <cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Emer, > > I have found the same problem!
