eSight's Site Accessibility Review


This site is only partially accessible.

Accessibility: Four stars

In filling out FlipDog.com's initial form fields for
new users, we found the combo-boxes function quite
well, but some of the edit boxes, which request
personal information, do not identify themselves.
This failure to label edit boxes usually reflects a
proprietary form-filling program that does not use
standard HTML protocols which virtually all screen
readers can access.

Navigation: Four Stars

On the other hand, navigating around this interesting
site works reasonably well with screen readers. With
the exception of its forms, keystrokes move you easily
through the links and textual portions of
FlipDog.com.
