Alan,
You are singing from the Apple Hymn Sheet. Their entire concept is based
around letting you know what is where on the screen.
Cheers
Dave

Hello.
To start off being pedantic, sorry for spelling.
How are we able to say what is accessible when using a screen reader as I
only know what is there when it tells me, what about all the other stuff
that a screen reader does not tell me about.
When I look at a site with a screen reader and move around it my brother
says where are you as he can not see some of the things on screen but jaws
is saying content or actions.
I can not recall any particular site but this why I give up on them.
This question is like asking a visually impaired person what can you see.
How can I answer if I do not know what you can see.
e.g.
I can see that tree, but you could say that there is a bird nest, a foot
ball, a plastic bag or even a branch which is dead and no leaves, you ask me
that sort of question like can you see that cat on the wall and I say no but
say what is over there I will say a wall and a blue gate, so how can I say
what is accessible on a web site.
Sorry for my rant but things have to be put in to context.
MANY THANKS
