The main issue with Ajax is that updates to the page are not noticed by
the screen reader unless the developer moves focus to the changed
content or sets a live region attribute on the container. This isn't
something mere users can fix other than setting a hotspot on the area so
changes can be noticed. Another snag is when a part of the page is
'rotating content' where they tick through some stuff like top news
stories or the like. This can be quite disorienting if you're in the
middle of reading and focus suddenly gets yanked to the next story
because things ticked. Usually there is a pause button which stops the
ticking, but not always.

All,
Has anyone encountered problems accessing sites using ajax? I cannot think of a
site immediately that heavily uses ajax. If you know of one I can try VO out
with, please let me know. This is a slightly urgent request.
Thanks,
