_Law.com_: Suit Over Airlines' Web Sites Tests Bounds of ADA[1]. [via Slashdot:
|
|
Blind User Sues Southwest Over Web Site, Cites ADA[2]]
|
|
|
|
Gumson and a Miami Beach, Fla.- based disability rights group, Access Now,
|
|
filed lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Miami in June and July against
|
|
Dallas- based Southwest and Dallas-based American Airlines under the
|
|
Americans with Disabilities Act. They are doing so under an untested legal
|
|
theory. Namely, that ADA provisions on the accessibility of public
|
|
accommodations to the disabled apply to Internet Web sites just as they do
|
|
to brick-and-mortar facilities like movie theaters and department stores.

Five months ago, I said[3] “within the next 12 months, all web authoring
|
|
tools will fully embrace CSS, accessibility, and web standards. And I mean
|
|
fully, inside and out, as Macromedia appears to have done here [with
|
|
Dreamweaver MX]. Those tools that do not will simply fall by the wayside. This
|
|
is the new baseline.” Seven months to go on that prediction. Tick tock,
|
|
tick tock...
