Re: [orca-list] africam.com WEB site is good example why at-spi should be reprogrammed to support also those complex pages



Just looked at the site with a windows screen reader.  There are sidebars that are in framesets but no data is being given the accessibility stack on their contents.  This site is just plain broken for these purposes.  As has ben mentioned, all images lack alternative text.  It’s probably going to be a pretty hard sell to get the website developers of a picture and video-intensive site like this one to make things accessible.  I mean, there are videos of things like Cheetah cubs on here and pictures of wildlife.  Very interesting stuff, I must say but the site is totally aimed and built around a visual experience.  Are there articles, social media, voiced videos or anything else a blind person might enuoy on there?

A quick look at the web site indicates that it has a lot of images that are unlabeled (no alt text).  So, the web site needs to provide alt text; otherwise its not accessible with any platform/screen reader.

Dear developers,
If there is somebody, who can deeply understand The complex C++ parts of at-spi infrastructure and also its Python part Py-atspi, here is very inaccessible WEB page with internal frames.

www.africam.com
How complex would be to find out, if Orca source code or At-spi source code would had to be chaned in order to support also this kind of WEB pages?
Africam site have been very accessible but for 6 weeks or more new WEB pages are very inaccessible. If there is somebody who would analyse this WEB and if somebody would find The cause of its very inaccessible state it would be very appreciated.
Or Gecko accessibility related parts would had to be changed too?
Thank You very much for Yours opinions.

With kindness regards.
