Batik currently doesn't do anything special to enable screenreader access (to be honest I don't know what Batik can do to enable screenreader access), but in general we try to do things the 'standard' way in Java so hopefully the standard screen readers would work at some level with Batik... > I was looking at a workaround currently to handle mouseover events > and link them back to the applet and the applet can deal > appropriately with the title and description, because the applet is > linked right with the screen reader. Or is there a better way of doing this? The simplest thing would be to subclass the JSVGCanvas and override 'setToolTipText(String t)', to forward the string to the screen reader. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
