My understanding is that with screen readers you need to treat the pages
like there is no JS on the page. The jQuery modifications would not be
compliant. (Thus technologies like EXT, again from my understanding, are
not 508 compliant.)

Hey Guys and Gals,
I am doing some research on Ajax and 508 compliance and wanted to get
everyone's take on the issue. Does anyone have any experience with
getting screen readers to pick up on changes to the DOM?
I am compiling a list of sites that discuss the issue, feel free to
see what I find: http://del.icio.us/kenzomedia/screenreaders
I go to the Dept. of Ed in a few weeks to their accessibility
department, where the majority of the people that work there are blind
or def, to see/hear what some of the website look/sound to them. We
had two of our developers go a year ago and it was very eye opening to
them.
