It depends entirely on whether they support javascript, something like Jaws (which is a screen reader of course, not a voice browser) uses a browser that is almost certainly javascript aware, and will proces it exactly as it would if the screen reader wasn't involved. Except of course that you won't necessarily get the same events firing. > am I safe to embed JavaScript logic client side or should I use a linked > file to fire off my functions, or does it make no difference what so ever? That is unlikely to make any difference with all but the oldest browsing software. Just author your javascript well (use object detection, ensure it's not required, think carefully about events) and there shouldn't be any problems. Jim.
