[musictlk] Inaccessible online contact forms and Websites

[Jorge Paez]

You can't really do much.

That site will be 
completely inaccessible because everything's animated so JFW, Window Eyes or Voice Over will treat them as graphics and just ignore the whole thing.

Just tested it on my mac and it can't even read anything,
which means the whole code is based on flash.

What are you looking for?

Perhaps I can suggest accessible alternatives.

Thanks,

Jorge
