Story here. The Disability Rights Commission is going to target 1000 sites for Accessibility compliance. Can't find anywhere that says which sites they'll be testing, but I'd stick Woolwich's atrocious online bank and Nat West's even worse one on there. Come to think of it, I'd put the Disability Rights Commission themselves on the list for this atrocious bit of textgiffery and javascript rubbish. Oh yeah, and they have some supposedly 'easy read' pages that require a plugin to hear some audio, doesn't work in mozilla, doesn't include anything like the same content as the rest of the site, and is exactly the sort of disabilty ghetto I was complaining about. D'oh!
Anyway, built by Reading Room who have some nice words to say on the subject but mostly prove that theory (W3C, RNIB) is worthless compared to practice.
