And just to complicate the issue further: As already pointed out, Java and JavaScript are entirely different beasts. JS, used well, can be an excellent tool for providing screen reader users with improved access to websites.
But now to an important issue with Java. It can be run on a server and, subject to effective coding, need not pose an access barrier. I am in the process of testing a very complicated application that relies on server side Java. Subject to some HTML coding issues, the site should be completely usable with Window-Eyes. What Window-Eyes doesn't like is Java applets that run on the client computer. I have used a couple of applications relying on Java applets successfully with another screen reader with Java Text Bridge installed. Regarding suspending of Flash, all that does is to stop Flash from reloading the page. Importantly, it does not disable the Flash.

Maybe in the verbosity settings you all could do something like suspend java which is something I suggested in this earlier email. Just a thought.

Window-Eyes works with java-script. In fact, you can write Window-Eyes scripts in Java-script if you want. Window-Eyes does not support Java however. Good luck.
