I use Insert F7 most of the time to bring up a list of links and then either arrow quickly down through them or type a letter say c for contact us. This of course is impossible with Cbolt, or at least of no benefit for quicker browsing.

I agree. And most screenreaders have some sort of find function, where you can look for a particular word like shop or whatever.

I see no point in complaining to Cobolt, you found the link, and I'm sure noone has had a major problem where by they couldn't get to the shop or other part of the site just because of 'Click to' being added to links.

Subject: [access-uk] badly designed websites

Hi all,

We have all become accustomed to poor design with regard to the
inaccessibility of websites, but you would think by now that those
specifically for visually impaired people would have some idea of good and 
bad practice.
I have had cause to use Cobolt systems website of late and, although it is not at all difficult to find your way around, it has one very basic and, to me, infuriating problem. all the links say "click to online shop" or "click 
to news page".  firstly, most of us do not mouse click at all, but, much
more importantly, if all links say click to, which is totally unnecessary, 
this means you cannot look for the online shop by searching for links
beginning with the letter o.
I intend to write to Cobolt and see what they have to say, but I do wonder if this annoys others or should we just make the best of the situation? To my mind, this could be put right fairly easily, and I can't believe that no 
one has yet pointed it out to Cobolt.

any comments?


David
