Hi Ed & Ellen Don't you agree that if the form/website was designed with universal access in mind it shouldn't matter which browser/platform was used. This is obviously one of the issues the Survey promoters should have addressed before asking for public input. I have come across a similar problem here in New Zealand. Our new Govt of 11 months, are soliciting for submissions from the Disability community on a wide range of issues, but there is no consistency between departments. The Health Funding Agency (HFA)website uses pdf file format for its documents, while the new Ministry for Disability has a really good website with very little fancy stuff and with their documents and submission forms available in Word and PDF and braille, large print and audio tape. When I complained to the HFA their reply was that they were amalgamating with the Ministry of Health in two months so basicallly it wasn't worth the effort and expense to make the required changes. So typical. We don'nt have quite the same clout as we don't have ADA, but I can forsee when someone will take a lawsuit out using our Human Rights Act, considering the lawsuite taken out against the Sydney Olympics Committee and IBM.
