The new US 508 rules have a new requirement: that information written to the screen by javascript be accessible to a screenreader. To avoid crossposting, I wrote the details to WCAG. You can see them at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001JanMar/0212.html Please continue the thread there until it gets to the point we have something to test. Then we'll bring it back here. After we figure out a technique we'll send it over to AU where they're documenting the techniques. And then we'll point into the AU document with EARL/EDL. AU may in turn want to reference that feature of EARL. Ah, process. Len -- Leonard R.
