For those of us using Macs there is also an interesting article at 456bereastreet.com giving an introduction to Mac OSX's built-in screen- reading software called Voiceover -- a handy tool that most mac users will never have even tried out. <http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200505/ voiceover_and_safari_screen_reading_on_the_mac/#main> Using VoiceOver was an interesting experience, but I have no idea how VoiceOver compares with 'proper' (ie. dedicated) screen reader software like Jaws, and therefore do not know whether the experience it provides should be treated as an accurate gauge of how accessible a site is in this regard. I'd love to hear other people's views but this might be getting a bit off topic for the list? Perhaps a discussion of screen readers is too much like a discussion about browsers... -- Rick Lecoat ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
