Priceline.com and Ramada.com have agreed to make their Web pages easier to navigate for the blind and visually impaired as part of a settlement with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
The settlement, announced Friday, is designed to bring the sites into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that private Web sites be accessible to blind and visually impaired Internet users, according to Spitzer.
