Ray,
It's fine with JAWS 6.2. I've just been listening to Roger McGough. The 
buttons, links and graphics are all labelled.

Iain.

Just discovered via an email newsletter the BBC's Poetry Outloud page at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/poetry/outloud/index.shtml

I find it works only with Internet Explorer, (I use Firefox by default).

Each link to the poems brings up yet another encarnation of Real Player, and
I only got Window-Eyes to recognize these Real Player buttons by labeling
them.

So, Question:  Is it just me?  Or has the Beeb given us another less than
ideally accessable page?  I'll be interested to see how all, and any variety
of screen readers handle this page.

From Ray
