Consumers rage war against pop-ups

By Stefanie Olsen Special to ZDNet

Kathleen Anderson wants pop-up ads
gone from the Net. As chair of a
Connecticut government committee,
Anderson is charged with ensuring
state-run Web sites become accessible
to people with disabilities.

She reviles the use of pop-up ads on
mainstream Web sites such as AOL.com
and Netscape because the disruptive ads
which appear on Web pages spontaneously
often confuse a blind person,e.g.one who
relies on a screen reader to hear content
rather than see it on Web sites.
