AJAX Accessible web page?Hi Ken. As far as i know, and this is as far as I can
surmise, Ajax is not yet very accessible on it's own. I don't know how far the
IAccessible toolls initiated by Ibm and Mozilla, among others, have progressed,
and My suspicion is that until it comes to fruition, the web 2.0 standard with
all it's bells and whistles will not be totally accessible to us. There is,
however a framework called dojo, an ajax toolkit that claims to be able to
build accessible web apps, but when i went to try out it's demos on their
website, the accessibility of their apps can at best be described as quirky.
To be fair, that was a few months ago. They might have improved on it. You
could try to go to www.dojo.org to see it for yourself or to download the
toolkit. Cheers!

Subject: AJAX Accessible web page?
Has anyone made a truly accessible AJAX web page where it updates some kind
of text on the screen lets say a calendar
and as it updates the main screen readers, Jaws, System Access, Window-eyes,
and hal all read it when it updates?
If you have then please give me a reference to either a book or an example .
