Re: Is Apex Accessible

That said, some of the AJAX sites that I've come across can be fairly accessible, especially if you are a fairly experienced user of your screen reader of choice and understand how its browse mode buffer (presuming that's what it is using to get the data) works. My experiences with Window Eyes would indicate this might not be as hopeless as they make it sound because it doesnt' meet Sec. 508. I don't think Facebook does either.

I don't know if Application Express is what you are talking about, but my

to Oracle asking if it is accessible and that I use JFW.  We got the following 
answer:

What I found is some features in Oracle Application Express 3.0: Developing
Web Applications Ed 2 PRV requires the functionality provided by the XMLHTTP
(AJAX) and/or DHTML scripting languages, which means that screen readers may
not properly interpret screen updates.  Because of extensive use of these
two scripting languages, the SQL Workshop module is not coded to meet
applicable Section 508 standards.  This being the case Jaws for Windows is
not compatible with Oracle Application Express 3.0: Developing Web
Applications Ed 2 PRV.

Today I was told by my manager that they want me to work on an Oracle database 
using Apex, formerly known as HTMLDB.  Does anyone know if Apex (HTMLDB) is 
accessible with JAWS?  If so do you need the java accessbridge installed to use 
it?
