TeXShop is an interface for the TeX and LaTeX typesetting languages.
it is not intended to be used to edit HTML, XML or other computer
programing languages. I Agree it is great for producing picture
perfect typeset pages and academic papers.

I can't help but bring texshop into this discussion. It is highly
accessible with Vo and does a huge number of really ccool things.

Like most current GUI web design tools, IWeb is notorious for

HTML is agonizing.
I'm a sighted web developer with a particular interest in screen
reader
accessibility, rather than someone who currently needs to use a screen
reader on a daily basis. I'm currently using Smultron for web
development, including HTML authoring, at work. If Smultron plays as
well with VoiceOver as a previous correspondent suggested (and a
tentative experiment of my own supports this), then that would be very
good option indeed.
I've been told that the freeware editor Taco HTML Edit works okay with
VoiceOver, so that's another thing to try.
Supposedly, VoiceOver works with Java applications, so JEdit should
also
be worth a go. When I tried JEdit, I could get VoiceOver to speak
menus
but not the content of the document, although someone with better
VoiceOver skills might be able to work out how. (If not, it would be
worth bringing this to the JEdit developers' attention. It ought to be
fixable.)
If you're used to FrontPage-type applications and so need help
learning
real HTML, you might find my collection of links to tutorials and
documentation helpful:

Hope that helps.
