Subject: Re: [jQuery] Don't forget accessibility Yes, it would be fantastic, if jQuery would be one of the first libraries which would easily support a developer in building accessible web pages. Perhaps, we could even build a special plugin. P.e. it could be delivered a function called $.readChange which will force ScreenReader to read the specific section again. Let's collect. What functions do we need and how can we achieve more accessibility?
