Flash (In)Accessibility for the Speed Impaired
Written by on March 12th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Ara Pehlivanian has a few words to say on the accessibility of Flash:
Disabling the Flash context menu is a bad idea! By turning it off (actually setting the menu property’s value to “false“), you’re not only not allowing me to lower the quality of the animation, but you’re also not allowing people with impaired vision to be able to zoom the content for easier reading. So, though it may be cool, or “in” to do it, the next time you’re tempted to turn off the context menu, do us slower computer owners a big favour and don’t.
He must have seen this a few times recently. I like the view-source option that was added. Hopefully more and more will turn it on and share.
