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
