Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex buttons and screen readers
The screen readers that have been run over the site are
WindowsEyes
and Narrator - both of which have encountered some problems with
reading all elements on the screen.
I have spoken to our QA here and they are going to try to get a

of JAWS to test with.
thanks
