Hi, I've gotten email from a blind user that he believes that Java and Javascript doesn't add much. I've also gotten email from an instructor about how much students like his website because of the increased interaction using Javascript. This is a crux of the problem. Who makes these decisions? If blind people can't use the technology, how can they evaluate its usefulness for sighted people? Similarly, who should tell blind people what access technology to use? Is it ethical for him not to use what he believes is better technology for teaching students without disabilities if people with disabilities cannot use the technology? Scott
