Preliminary accessibility review of Exhibitions on iPhone

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good morning,

What follows is some very preliminary accessibility feedback on the  
Exhibitions page using VoiceOver on an iPhone 3g S.

1. There is a "Toggle" link at the top of the page, I have no idea  
what this toggles.

2. There are several linked images with no description.

3. The Names and dates of each exhibit are separate links, this makes  
me think that I am looking at two different possible URLS.

4. The second confusion about using two different links for the  
exhibition title and date is that part way through the list a screen- 
reader user can forget which comes first, not knowing the relationship  
between the two pieces of data.

5. In Firefox the H2 "Upcoming (2)" is recognized as a Tab.  This does  
not happen with Safari on the iPhone and VoiceOver.

6. It is confusing to use a taxonomy (like a tab labeled "Upcoming")  
to categorize the exhibits lower on the page when the exhibits higher  
on the page are not categorized.  What category do the above exhibits  
fit into?

7. "Catalog 103" is not meaningful to me as a user.

8. Several unlabeld linked icons on this page.

9. No understanding of what "Thermometer" and "Barometer" mean.

10. I believe Sambhavi pointed this out, but VoiceOver pronounces  
"Guestbook" as "GooseBook".  Funny, but unhelpful.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like further information.   
I can be reached via e-mail or on my cell 416-500-3941.

HTH,
Everett
