Looking at the source code it seems as if the site is trying to be clever and 
provide teh capability to switch between flash or text based on variables such 
as which browser you are using however that no text content for the text site 
has been provided.

If you open in firefox 3.5 you do see the flash placeholder which you don't 
using ie8.

Hi all,

I'd be grateful for your comments on the accessibility of this site
using Jaws. http://www.booksellercrow.co.uk/#/navigation. The site was
(previously) accessible, however since being redisigned there appear
to be no clickable links (e.g. you can't click on a link to contact
the book shop. I've used the shop over many years and the owner is, I
know keen to ensure accessibility.

My initial feedback to the shop has been that the site isn't fully
accessible but I'd be grateful for other Jaws users comments on this.

Regards,

Kevin
