RE: Programmatically determining color

Becky, thanks so much for this!

I'm having trouble getting it to work, though. I edited the current
sound scheme as you described but JAWS didn't speak the color
information in say-all mode, and when I tried Ins+F to query font
information all it said was  "font is default small."

I'm using JAWS 7.0 and IE 6.0. What am I doing wrong?

I would love for this to work!

I created a simple test file for determining color using screen readers.
I 
can make JAWS speak the CSS specified color changes in the document. 
WindowEyes can provide the color attributes for an element by pressing a

particular keystroke after navigating to the element.   I can not find a

way to make Home Page Reader speak information about color or other 
attributes.  This test file has basic instructions for enabling JAWS and

WindowEyes to provide color information.  Note that the text of the
labels 
for the three edit boxes on the page refer to how the label color was 
created so you will see and hear the word "red" as part of each label.
