Do screen readers reveal "cover-ups" ?
Example: <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_chaos_14.html>


I don't know. It's entirely dependent on two factors: first is how Internet Explorer creates its internal representation used to render the display (just to reiterate, this is not the same as the DOM), and how it exposes that representation via the MSAA API.

Then the other factor kicks in: how well the screen reader deals with the information it gets from those APIs.

So the best people to ask would be the developers from the IE Team and at the screen reader vendors :-)

Cheers,

Nick.
