Hi Suzanne not sure where to look for a job. But for more info on browsers you might like to look at "Alternative Web BRowsing" at http://www.w3.org/WAI/References/Browsing (Note that it is a bit out of date - there is a demonstration version of EIAD now available.) As well as browsers, there are systems that people use for their whole computer. Eyeball tracking is one of those (others include all kinds of input devices - speech, specialised keyboards of different types, etc. Some of this stuff can be done in software, and there are free versions of some of it (for example, I use a half-keyboard on my macintosh that is a free product, and a talking keyboard that is too. I got them via a download site called tucows - http://www.tucows.com where accessibility things are listed as a category of educational software - go figure.

(or at least free for a trial period) I loaded Jaws and got it to work, and it seemed very nice, and reliable, but I have nothing to compare it to and I'm sure there are other browsers out there. I have heard about 'eyeball browsers' (at least that's what a Human Factors engineer called them) where the movement of the eye is detected. Has anyone heard about these and/or know about developing for them? What other browser types are there, besides, voice synthesizer types (like Jaws), Mainstream (like IE), and the eyeball browsers? Also, I'm job hunting, where would I find job listings for web developers with an interest in creating accessible sites?
