Hi Jan, > Maybe strange questions - Do the users of screen readers have flash? (I > have no idea for a reason why they shloud)
Some screen readers sit on top of browsers like IE. If IE has Flash embedded in it, and the Flash has been made accessible (see <http://www.webaim.org/techniques/flash/>), then it's exposed to the screen reader. The reason that screen readers should have access to Flash is that developers sometimes put important information in Flash movies, and people using screen readers should have access to it. > - And do the screen readers > read the elements from the document, even if they're not in DOM? Occasionally. The abbr element isn't included in IE's DOM, but JAWS, which sits on top of IE will expose the abbr element to the visitor depending on the verbosity settings. > The reason I ask this - I'm including a flash header via UFO v1.0 [1], > based on its presence detection.

Screen readers partially support JavaScript, but they don't appear to understand changes to the DOM once the document has loaded. I haven't tested UFO with a screen reader, but it's very unlikely that it will be exposed to screen reader users.
