Hi,
I ocasionally use display: none; to hide divs that, on the click of a
link they will reappear. For example, maybe I create a menu and when
you click a link of menu options the submenu options appear.
Anyway, is it true that screen readers for visually impaired users
mostly ignore elements that are hidden this way? Is it better to use
position: absolute; and set it off the screen? Just a bit concerned
because a few of my projects work this way.
Cheers
Burnsy

I'd hesitate to say "mostly". The most used readers mostly read what's
on screen. If you hide it with display:none or visibility:hidd en, they
don't "see" it either. For your perusal: http://www.access-matters.com/screen...-test-results/

That depends on what is being hidden. A URL would help.

Do the most-used speech readers pay any attention to media-specific
stylesheets?

Recent versions of JAWS recognise the "aural" media type.

Scripsit Johannes Koch:

Does it support aural properties (azimuth, cue, ...)? To which extent?
Without such support, recognizing "aural" is not very useful. Admittedly,
there are some things that could be done using just the display property
suitably, e.g. setting display: none for media other than aural, if you have
some explanation that is useful in aural use only.

No, I don't hink so.

Thanks, that's an interesting link.
Mind you, for a site about accessibility, they have some shocking
usability errors! Any web page with "hint:" on it to explain how to
read the page is getting things badly wrong.
Also, does anyone else look at that page and think of Sting in Dune?

Equally important is whether non-aural browsers ignore everything inside
@media aural { }. Do they? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
Can I turn on/off the browser's screen updating until the entire page is
loaded ? i.e. is it possible to show a page only when it is completely in
browser's memory ? I don't want to show a object one by one when downloading
a page.
thanks in advance

Hello all
I have created a page which has several pictures on it. Each picture is
surrounded by a frame made from actual photos of real picture frames,
consisting of four corner tiles and four repeating side tiles.
I would like the on-screen display to use low-res versions (96 dpi) of the
images, to ensure fast loading. But I would like the printed version to
use high-res versions (300 dpi or more). The printed page should be...

We are developing an application using C#.net and we need to provide
support for screen readers. Jaws works pretty good except that it
can't read group box labels on dialog forms. The same version of Jaws
can read group boxes with an earlier MFC application that we wrote. Is
this by design or is there a setting I can change to fix this. I have
tried changing the accessibility role and several other things with no
success. Thanks in advance.

I understand that there are several ways to effectively control the
browser delivery of HTML to make the most effective use of the

I have a client with a text based site (displays a lot of labour law)
which is being read in a range of resolutions and he wants a rewrite
as a long term solution to browser resolution compatibility.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
