Does your website support business which is accessibile?

We remember in past people suing large inaccessible websites best example is Target.com. During that period people were fixing the HTML and JSP to the minimum of priority one! Of accessibility compliance. I remember I was not convinent with that approach. I was very sure that, It was not only the matter of code fixing but also it was about information. And fields. .


Now there is another case, its not for the accessible website, but for the accessible services. There is a lawsuit over hotel. Two disabled people sued online travel agency Hotels.com on Tuesday seeking guaranteed accessible room reservations.

The lawsuit, which is asking a judge to make it a class action representing all disabled California customers of Hotels.com, alleges the company discriminates against people with disabilities by refusing to guarantee reservations for wheelchair-accessible rooms. The lawsuit was filed in Alameda County Superior Court.

Search Form fields should provide fields for selecting hotels with accessible search room or sports store which sell sport goods for physically challenged. As well amazon should have feature for funding Davinci Code in Braill!!!
