I don't know that Lynx will read the same things in the same order (tables etc) as JAWS although in combination with EMACSpeak, it can work as a talking browser in it's own right. I think that you may even find that JAWS is more "forgiving" of poor coding than Lynx; as a screen reader it is, after all, a patch to make Windows do what it should have done natively and must therefore be able to render some pretty dubious stuff. Lynx is the first tool that I use to check my code once I've previewed it in Mozilla - even before I run it past AccessValet. As an aside, anyone know if Lynx has been ported for Palm Pilot?
