Greetings

 Is there a list of accessibility acts that SharePoint 2007 supports.
 For example the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005?

 

Thank You

yagyashree:

Please note that this forum is ONLY for accessibility questions for the physically challenged.

If you reply to questions here, please do NOT answer questions which have nothing to do with the physically challenged. 

(I will delete them as soon as I see them so you are wasting your time in any case, but answering them here encourages more people to post way off-topic posts here.)

P.S. An answer of "i searched but i cann't find any public article for your explanation?" isn't any use to the poster of this question. If you haven't an answer, don't reply!

>but with due respect, Mike, my question is about disabilities and accessibility of the physically challenged.

I know. 

I was only using yahyashree's response here in this (correctly placed) thread to point out to him that he was replying to posts that were off-topic here (NOT this thread!!) and that I would anyway be deleting them.  (I had just deleted such an off-topic thread that yahyashree had replied to here)

Your post is completely correct here and I am sorry that I have given you the (wrong) impression that I thought it was off-topic.

Answer 6

Great question Sarbjit!

Just my $0.01

Although, many Disabilities Act in Canada and USA are similiar to the standard WCAG 2.0 AA, having a list would be beneficial.  SharePoint 2007 out of the box does not adhere to ODA standards but as you know it can be customized to adhere to such standards.
