Furthermore, it helps to use ajax which incorporates aria and the only way you'll be able to take advantage of that mapping into iAccessible2 or possibly MSAA/Universal Access is to use the latest version of firefox, and then to later on use Internet Explorer 8.0, since they also plan on supporting aria, which is great.

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.

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 .
