<< The current UA draft doesn't seem to cover spawned browser windows - entirely new copies of the browser that can currently be generated without the user's awareness. >> Why is this an accessibility problem? If another window appears on your screen and your accessibility aid doesn't tell you, that's not the browsers fault. Mind you, I think spawned windows are a pain, usability-wise, but I don't see that as a accessibility issue. Windows pop up all the time in the users computing experience - reminders for meetings, low battery alerts, buddy list messages, etc. Charles Oppermann Program Manager, Active Accessibility, Microsoft Corporation mailto:chuckop@microsoft.com http://microsoft.com/enable/ "A computer on every desk and in every home, usable by everyone!"
