Re: [Lynx-dev] Website shows blank page in Lynx browser

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Kyle,
I am presently in discussion with Toronto Library staff about this issue.
please please please call them and tell them you are having trouble.
What I have shared is that since they are a service for the general 
public, the account aspects of the site should not require Java 
Script...could    be a human rights code violation truth be told.
there is a back door in,
type the url like this.
www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/oldaccount.
 When I just checked your link, I did not get a blank page, but the 
statement that JavaScript is required.
Again library staff *must* be told of the problem so they  at the very 
least add the old account link to the site homepage. Much as they had the 
old catalog  link there for years.
With your permission, may I share this post with the staff members I am 
communicating with presently?
cheers,
Karen
