Product Description
The power of the Web lies in the fact that anyone and everyone can access it, and this should also extend to users with disabilities. Accessibility is about making websites accessible to those with aural, visual, or physical disabilities, or rather, constructing websites that don't exclude these people from accessing the content or services provided. This isn't difficult to accomplish and doesn't require anything more than your normal tool set-HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, or whatever else. All you need to do is use these tools in the right way, and bear in mind the guidelines that exist to help you keep your websites accessible and the laws that enforce web accessibility around the world. This book gives you all you need to know about web accessibility, whether you are a web designer or developer who wants your sites to be accessible, or a business manager who wants to learn what impact the web accessibility laws have on your websites. After an overview of the accessibility law and guidelines, and a discussion about accessibility and its implementation in the enterprise, the book goes on to show how to implement accessible websites using a combination of concise references and easy-to-follow examples, covering:     Understanding assistive technologies     Creating accessible content using XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, Flash, and PDFs      Testing against WCAG (including 2.0) and Section 508     Retrofitting inaccessible sites where necessary The book concludes with an in-depth analysis of accessibility law around the world. If you're concerned about the legal and moral implications of web accessibility, then this book is perfect for you. It is written by some of the world's experts on accessibility, leaving you in good hands.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all web developers, designers, commissioners, and users, 8 Oct 2006 By  G. Ennis (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    A must for all web developers, designers, commissioners, and users If ever there was a book that not only explained why accessibility is vital to web development, but also shared the tips and techniques to achieve it - this is it. An easy to read common sense attitude, along with the legal facts, make this a must read for anyone in the industry today. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Absolutely every web developer and website owner needs to own this., 16 Jul 2007 By  Cecil Ward "Cecil Ward" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This text book is of very high quality and an engaging read. Apart from the expected target audience of web developers, I will suggest that website owners and non-developers should consider getting hold of this vital textbook. The fact that it leaves you wanting more is a compliment to its quality. Even though it is bulky, I wished it had covered certain areas in more detail. One small criticism relates javascript examples, one or two of which refer to techniques that are questionable in terms of robustness and re-usability, issues that, to be fair, the author does point out. [Background; search for "addEvent considered harmful" in your favorite search engine.] Yet no definitive solution is given, and the reader is left hanging. But such small gripes should on no account not put you off buying this text. Anyway the numerous authors are to be congratulated. Indeed, given the size of the field and the rapid pace of developments, a second "part II - advanced" volume would be a very good idea indeed.
