I have looked at http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ with JAWS 7.10 and it's not good. The overlay is displayed if the user clicks the link but JAWS does not read any of the content in the overlay. In fact the user won't have any idea that the page has changed.
Do you have any other examples where this technique has been applied? Steve "Joseph R. B.
