I was contacted by someone from the Department of Natural Resources, DNR,
here in Minnesota. They are working on a complex reservations site,
and are looking for examples of good and bad. If you can help,
please write Jed directly at:<br><br>

DNR is still working with our state park reservation vendor to make their
site accessible. They are very slow to grasp it all. I wanted
to refer them to some sites that perhaps you have used that you have
found easy to use. I was going to look at Southwest airlines, Jet Blue
and Target since they were all sued recently and imagine they have
cleaned up their act.<br><br>
<br><br>
The vendor made it sound like the feds are still dragging their feet on
making all their sites accessible but I haven't had time to follow-up to
see if they appear to have issues.<br><br>
<br><br>
The vendor is still struggling with the calendaring function where people
pick the dates they want to stay at a park and we typically show them a
large grid of dates that match their choices. It's a little different
than choosing a hotel room or airline seat as each campsite is a little
different in its proximity to this, that or the other thing and the view
it may have.<br><br>
<br><br>
Are there airline sites or hotel / travel sites where the calendar
selection piece has worked particularly well for you?<br><br>
<br><br>
Thank you.<br><br>
