Re: [Lynx-dev] Website shows blank page in Lynx browser

[Karen Lewellen]

Actually I am glad you posted this.
What happens when I follow that link is that two  items labeled as 
alternate appear.  They are incorrectly labeled links to the blog post.  If 
I chose one though I am taken in a circle.
That anyone is misleading the public with a suggesting that wix is 
accessible  is a shame indeed.
Not only do pages not display in lynx, but in links and e-links which can 
have  some Javascript aspects the pages do not work either.
Cannot contact them to share  the problem...which may be  why they are 
thinking there is not one.
I resonate with our stance.    There is no reason why informational sites 
should not work in lynx.  Certainly  news sources should, absolutely a 
public library drawing funding from  individuals using  a variety of 
technology.
I am going to test your link in a couple of other browsers, just for 
kicks.
The we are sorry, but change our technology statement is not just lazy, it 
is  indefensible.
Just code sith css, including one that works with html or at least 
recognizes  a low graphics tool  stop with the shame on you for not  using 
JavaScript.  some people physically cannot after all.
Or, just create a real m. site instead.
