one thing has been bothering me about the content and intent of the amazon pointer to a quote screen reader unquote friendly page with quote similar content unquote as the main site, is that i never heard the message intended for my AT while using a screen-reader in a GUI environment -- only Lynx displayed what was hidden not only from CSS-capable browsers, but from half of the target audience -- those using screen readers... Developers' Poll: Support for overflow:hidden - is it in the DOM? john and sean: what is IE7's state of support for overflow:hidden? aaron and charles: what is FireFox and FireVox's state of support for overflow: hidden? chaals -- is this how my.opera hides the login information until the Log In link is activated -- when i visited my.opera with Lynx, i heard the form despite not being logged in nor activating the Log In link glen gordon: is FreedomScientific aware of the WCAG2 technique? am i correct that the latest version of JAWS does not speak text marked with overflow: hidden; nor display: none; nor visibility: hidden; there is a test page of display:none and visibility:hidden: archived in the w3c's list archives -- long, possibly wrapping, URI to follow: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-eo/2001AprJun/att-d154/invisible_text_test.html> this is why we need to straighten out CSS21's terminology, so that there IS a technique that is hidden to the eye, but exposed by an AT, which is why i suggested the meta media type: render render unto ceasar what is ceasar's and render unto my AT visually transparent content... gregory. -- "He who lives on Hope, dies farting." -- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack -- Gregory J.
