Subject: Re: please explain why window-eyes will not read this website. is
it because of flash?
It's because the banner is an image with no alternative text. The alt tag
is there but it's empty, i.e. alt="". That's all they have to change to
make it visible to a screen-reader.

Dear List:
At the following website
http://www.waukesha.k12.wi.us/
it is supposed to show that the schools are closed. When I called the
school, the secretary saidthat at the top of the page was a banner with a
picture; when there is bad weather, the picture is replaced with a block
of words describing that the schools are closed. In this case, schools
are closed today and tomorrow. Is it because it is some kind of flash
that window-eyes does not read it? If the words are not
moving, shouldn't window-eyes be able to read it? Thanks for
any clarification. Regards: Ted Larson
