I'm trying to find out whether accessibility of web pages is seen as an
issue for the archaeological profession. Having looked at a number of
archaeology-related sites, I've found that quite a few of them can't be
viewed using a text-only browser, or one that doesn't support frames, or
JavaScript. Is this because it doesn't seem worth the effort of catering
to a 'minority market', or is it just that people aren't always aware of
the potential problems? Whilst I'd accept that not many people are still
using text-only browsers, one question I'd like to pose is: How will a
page consisting solely of a clickable image map render in, say, an audio
browser? And, more importantly, is this something we should concern
ourselves about?
Incidentally, I'd be very interested to know if anyone has any up-to-
date browser-usage statistics, either general or in relation to
archaeological websites.
