A web site with a double life
|
Brian's Mail list account
There is a website called doubletap.online
Its a Canadian site, but has podcasts about accessible tech. However, when I view it in foirefox or waterfox I cannot find a link to the basic podcast address, only I tunes and some specific apps. However when I visit it in Safari on the I phone I see the normal link leaving me in the silly position of copying over the link feeds.bla bala to the pc podcatcher address field manually. Is this a waterfox/firefox thing? or is it me or perhaps an nvda thing. I'm using the latest beta of nvda 2019.1. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Many websites do present different content based on the browser they detect is
visiting them. Sometimes this is good (eg: for mobile devices, they get the mobile-optimised version), but sometimes it is bad. I recommend contacting the admin of the website to tell them how this is interfering with usability. Antony.

Are you saying you want an address to subscribe to
a podcast? I see, using an older version of Chrome, specific episodes
linked to, such as a link to Episode 72 of a podcast after a dewscription of
it. Where are links to subscribe found when you look using another
platform? At this point we have far too little information to say that it
is at all likely the site is tailoring content. It may just be that this
or that browser is showing code on the page that other browsers don't.
Here is the direct link to episode 72 of a
podcast. I used to copy shortcut feature in Chrome, the same as copy link
location in Firefox. Is the link to the general podcast series based on
this link?

I'm not fond of mobile-optimized websites.

The reason is most of the time I'm using my laptop and almost never use my smartphone or any other mobile device to really browse through something. And, while using a mobile-optimized website on a mobile can be excellent, on the other hand it can be a real hell to use the same website on the computer, because of how things are organized on the screen on a mobile-optimized website.

They are after the heading, before the actual links to the episodes in both cases, but the with something else seems to show up on the Iphone but not in Firefox/waterfox. I guess it could be that the web site is under development and being fiddled with, I do not know. Anyway, I have subscribed and all the audio came down. Its just not as easy as it should have been.
