If the website is usable in lynx/links/w3m etc. then it is probably adequate as far as accessibility is concerned. Or so I've been told.

- ghusbands 6y agoThat's not really accurate, as screen readers read the page that's present in the modern browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox), including whatever has been done with JS (mostly), so even if the initial page is fine, your progressive enhancements may yet make things inaccessible. A very common problem is assuming mouse-only input for buttons or menus, making them not work from the keyboard use.
