RE: Section 508 Question on Javascript - Section 1194.22, Paragraph (l)

Fairly simply it means that if you are using JavaScript in a page the
contents of that Javascript need to be accessible to assistive technology.
In the example given the pop-up Javascript box (alert dialog, whatever) is
allowable if the content is available (readable) to assistive technology.

In simple language: Is the Javascript pop-up read when viewing the page in
assitive technolgy?  If yes, your page is compliant.

Hope that helps-

Hi
I have tried to get to some sort of understanding of
this on the Section 508 list at Trace, but am still in
the land of confusion!

The thread starts here
http://trace.wisc.edu:8080/guest/archives/SEC508/sec508.0102/msg00000.html

I have been asked to write an article on accessibility
which covers Section 508 so would like to give a
reasonable interpretation of this regulation.

Anyone care to have a go?

Cheers
Graham Oliver
