Last time I looked at various implementations of "lightbox" none were accessible to the JAWS screen reader. I would be interested to know if things have improved since then.

This way, if the browser has javascript support (and it's enabled) then what the user gets is quite a fancy alternative to standard to popups (and it'll definately keep the client happy) and it will degrade nicely to simply open a new site (in the same window if you choose) if the JS support isnt there. There's also greybox (http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/) which does a similar thing without the need for the jquery library. I've spent a good couple of weeks developing a solution on the prototype library that combines thickbox with "lightbox" (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) but its not yet ready for release as I havent fully stress tested it. Cheers, David. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
