> The current state of UpdatePanel doesn't allow for complete screenreader 
> accessibility with the popular screen readers currently available in the 
> market. Window Eyes works correctly and is able to read updated content in 
> a partial postback in simple cases but doesn't work well when triggers are 
> used. Also Jaws doesn't handle re-reading content on partial updates.

> To fix this issue I wrote a simple control which provides for this 
> screen-reader accessibility. On any page that will participate in partial 
> rendering, you can employ this control - nothing else needs to be set - 
> just drop this control on your page participating in partial rendering and 
> you are set for screen reader accessiblity - and it will take care of 
> causing the screen reader to re-read content after a partial post-back. I 
> am posting the control herewith - please let me know if you find it useful 
> or any other comments you might have regarding this. I tested with Window 
> Eyes and it works well.
