So what you > could do, is add a dot and hideit with an extra span and some CSS. I don't believe this would be particularly good practice. Using inappropriate punctuation would be most confusing and inaccurate for those viewers who choose not to use stylesheets. Use correct punctuation, and allow the user to control the speed in which text is read from their own screenreader controls. -- Frances Berriman http://fberriman.com ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
