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.
I'm aware of all of this, I wasn't just sure whether those visitors usually install the flash plgugin.
UFO uses DOM injection. 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.
Great, thanks Gez, this is the point of the whole question. -- Jan Brasna aka JohnyB :: www.alphanumeric.cz | www.janbrasna.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
