This comes down to three points. All of which should be pretty obvious. * Is the feature itself visible to AT? This basically boils down to "Did Microsoft expose the UI to the accessibility interface?". Answer: Probably, but it doesn't matter since the data is still in the page and readable in the normal way. * Is the map accessible? That depends on the map being linked to - I see there are at least two different ones in the gallery of accelerators. * If the feature doesn't work (because it is IE specific) is the page still accessible? Of course it is, the data is still there in human readable form. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/
