Daily Sucker #1 for Wednesday, November 11, 2009
November 11th, 2009 4:04 am by Vincent FlandersSubmitter’s comments: I was researching about a medical issue that a very close and dear friend has when I clicked on a link that took me to a pharmaceutical company. I remembered that your biggest peeve is lack of contrast between the text and the background. Well, not only does this page (and site) have a lack of contrast in the text, but when you mouse over the menu items you get text that’s almost impossible to read.
I ran the page through AccessColor and it turns out that 87.46% of either the color difference or color brightness does not meet the W3C recommended standard. Oh, and to top it off, they’re using what you call “Satan’s CSS” — #666.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I can hear trophy wives throughout America saying, “Just what we need. Another ED drug.” Yes, you’re right, the contrast sucks is poor. Yes, it is my biggest complaint.
