Accessibility problems

I've mailed this to wsc at wmdb dot org and didn't get a reply, so I copied the mail content here, hoping somebody will see it.

Accessibility problems in http://wsc.wmdb.org/

1. The navigation box is an image map which totally relies on CSS to work. There is no text alternatives, so people cannot navigate the website if the CSS is disabled.

Solution: Provide the text alternative like the following, or at least convert those <area> tags into <a> tags.

<nowiki><style type="text/css">#nav {display: none;}</style>

<div id="nav">Navigation:
<ul>
<li><a href="/index.php" title="Main Page">Main Page</a></li>
<li><a href="/about.php" title="About">About</a></li>
<li><a href="/rules.php" title="Rules">Rules</a></li>
<li><a href="/partic.php" title="Participants">Participants</a></li>
<li><a href="/results.php" title="Result">Result</a></li>
<li><a href="/regist.php" title="Registration">Registration</a></li>
<li>Jury</li>
</ul></div></nowiki>

2. All images in the website have no alt texts.

Solution: Add them. This will provide text alternatives to images.

I may find more in the future, but I hope these will be fixed soon. Thanks. --Explorer09 03:14, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Explorer, Balee got your e-mail but he apparently hates you and doesn't care about accessibility, so your efforts are in vain. --Vladimir 08:09, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that, or Balee has a couple of other stuff to do before he can try to figure out where to put this code and how will that affect the site over-all. I wanted to reply yesterday, but I had some other, more urgent business to attend to. Expect my mail soon. Balee 14:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was just putting my suggestion, but that's OK if you're too busy to do that. --Explorer09 13:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, except for the STYLE tag, the code should be put between <div id="top"> and <div class="text">.

<div id="top">
...
</div>
INSERT HERE
<div class="text">
...
</div>

These content won't be shown unless the user disables the CSS in his browser. --Explorer09 13:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
