ah yes indeed, its the dynamic content that I think is causing the problem, and
probably the reason its not for me is because I'm using the mac which deals
with this stuff far better than Windows screen readers just at the moment.
Saying that however I did manage to get around the new site reasonably
effectively on my Windows machine with jaws 14.
So whilst the dynamic content of the site doesn't make it terrifically
accessible the reality is that this is the way many sites are going now!
