Abstract

There are demands for improving accessibility in existing websites by enlarging text and changing the colors. Typical solutions use technologies such as ActiveX that can only run on a specific client environment. JavaScript is supported in many Web browsers, and it can be used to add new functions for improving the accessibility of existing websites. However, Web browsers prohibit JavaScript from accessing webpages of another domain, so it is difficult to improve accessibility for related websites spanning multiple domains. This paper describes a method that solves the problem.
