I'm just wondering if there are potential legal implications for web
accessibility on the HR site. Especially in terms of ADA compliance. If
the web site is problematic for non-IE browsers, I can only imagine how it
will perform with a text reader. I recall hearing about a vision-impaired
person successfully suing for ADA compliant websites?

I'm using Mozilla Firebird and blu seems to work ok. The eRecruit thing,
however, sends me into a reload loop.
