TY - JOUR T1 - Position Paper: Improving Browsing Environment Compliance Evaluations for Websites JF - Relation Y1 - 2008 A1 - Eaton,C. A1 - Memon, Atif M. AB - Though it would be ideal for web pages to render and function con-sistently across heterogeneous browsing environments, the browser, browser version, and operating system used to navigate and interact with web content is known to have a significant impact on the subsequent level of user accessibil- ity. While research endeavors directed toward improving web accessibility have generally focused on addressing usability issues for individuals with physical limitations, providing accessible information and services for the en- tire web population also encompasses addressing the limitations of devices and platforms used to deploy web pages. We propose that more research be in- vested in the latter issue to facilitate the development of effective tools for de- tecting browsing environment influenced usability issues before inaccessible pages are released in the field.
