Hello,

I haven't used ESPN for football, but the baseball draft interfase was so
so. You can do it if you are patient and can keep track of things. I would
imagine that football is similar to the baseball layout. I will say though,
once the drafting part was done In baseball, the over all useability was
pretty good. I just ended up not having enough time to really keep up with
it though.

The most accessible site for fantasy football I've found is the free fantasy
football from nfl.com. I've been playing in their leagues since 2002. You
just have to explore the site a little until you get used to the layout. In
the drafting section, I use the html layout instead of the javascript. It's
perfectly accessible with jaws.

Subject: Using ESPN.COM with JAWS 

Hi,

I want to join a fantasy football league this summer.  I've been told that
one of the most popular sites for doing this is ESPN.COM.  Has anyone ever
tried using the player draft software they use, or any of the fantasy
football site stuff that's involved?

I haven't even begun to look, as I was hoping to get advice in advance.

Any information that you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.  I
have JAWS 8 and 9 on my computer, and a Focus 44 Braille display.  I use
Eloquence.

Thanks for your help.

Lora
