Some people have JavaScript off and some appliances for accessibility don't use CSS either. You do NOT want to change the appearance of the page with DHTML after the page renders.</p> <p>The most popular screenreader is <a href="http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp">Jaws</a>. It costs several hundred dollars but you can download a free trial.</p> <p>There is an open source one <a href="http://www.nvda-project.org/">NVDA</a></p> <p>The Fangs screenreader plug in for Firefox on the addons page is not supported after Ffox 1. But you can get a working version <a href="http://www.standards-schmandards.com/projects/fangs/">here</a> which is compatible with Ffox 3 as well.</p> <p>The Ffox Web Developer addon has verification for Section 508 and WAI accessibility provisions.</p> <p>Some answers on <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/answers/technology/web-development/TCH_WDD/281507-1961580?browseIdx=0&amp;sik=1216985823372&amp;goback=%2Eamq">LinkedIn</a></p> <p>A relevant thread on <a href="http://drupal.org/node/58941">drupal.org</a></p> <p>A couple more resources</p> <p><a href="http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ScreenreaderVisibility" title="http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ScreenreaderVisibility">http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ScreenreaderVisibility</a></p> <p><a href="http://juicystudio.com/article/screen-readers-display-none.php" title="http://juicystudio.com/article/screen-readers-display-none.php">http://juicystudio.com/article/screen-readers-display-none.php</a></p> Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:22:11 +0000 decibel.places comment 1231810 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
