[IxDA Discuss] Audio feedback in HTML-based web applications

[jackbellis]

Sean,
I'm a "broken record" stuck on the groove that says the web, despite its
unprecedented gifts, has turned the clock back on software development---and
many elemental details of user experience---approximately 10 years. And
others frequently support the point that every tenet of usabiliyt is equally
applicable to web and non-web design. So I'd suggest that it is mostly, as
you say, "... because the technology just doesn't readily support it."

Sound is tremendously helpful and I'm quickly guessing that everything said
about color applies: use it judiciously and don't use it as a sole cue.
-Jack
