Not only buildings and lifts must be accessible for people with disabilities. Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.

Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Millions of people have disabilities that affect their use of the Web. Currently most Web sites and Web software have accessibility barriers that make it difficult or impossible for many people with disabilities to use the Web. As more accessible Web sites and software become available, people with disabilities are able to use and contribute to the Web more effectively.

Browser

If you want to view a web site, you need a browser on your PC. This browser should display the website accurately, deliver an easy navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. The browser should support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud. Users may navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such as spreadsheets. 
We recommend to use a browser witch meets the US federal government requirements and the Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung (BITV) that software be easily accessible to users with physical impairments.

Unfortunately the browser MS Internet Explorer 5.x-7.x is not the most suitable. An overview of browsers you can find here: www.css4you.de/browsercomp.html/standardbrowser/.
