From: "Paul Novitski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Sorry, but aren't these apples & oranges? The triggering event is one thing, the disappearing technique another. What I'm reading (or perhaps misreading) is that even screen readers that respond to the onclick method might not present text that's previously been hidden with {display: none}.

Not having a screen reader to test on, I'd appreciate hearing from someone who does:

When the styling for a block of text is changed from {display: none} to {display: block} or {display: inline}, does your reader begin reading it immediately? Or does it simply add that text into the body of the page for eventual reading?

I have a copy of JAWS 5.1 on a system. I'll try to check it out. If you're right, it's a good point. Scripts that rely on CSS rules should be easy to adapt. If you find anything out before I do, please post or fire me a line offlist.

Thanks.
