Hi I have found an Email about Java tucked away in a subfolder, I am not

you will all know better than I,I will fish it out and send whilst I have a
fix on it

Hi List,
I would like to visit the following website but on opening
it this message appears:
www.lymediseaseaction.org.uk
"This site uses javascript menus, please turn them back
on."
Will JAWS work on such sites and is so, how would I turn
Java on and then off after I've finished.
I guess the most important point to be clear about here is
that Java and
JavaScript are utterly different things, despite the
confusing
similarity of name. Here are two Wikipedia articles for you
to
familiarize yourself with the differences:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript
JavaScript can be sent along with a webpage to create
dynamic
functionality without requiring a refresh of the page. For
example, a
menu might open when you click or hover over link or some
new
information might be retrieved and inserted into the page
when a tab is
selected.
Sometimes such effects works well with a given web browser
and screen
reader, and sometimes they don't. It depends on how
precisely the effect
was coded (typically, not with accessibility in mind) and
how well the
web browser and screen reader used support accessibility
features of web
technologies (sadly support tends to lag way behind the
specifications
for such features).
So it's impossible to generalize; try it in a given case and
see.
