Hello all,

My name is Andy Brown, and working in the Human Centred Web Lab in the
School of Computer Science at Manchester University. We are currently
working on a project which is aiming to improve accessibility of Web 2.0
technologies, specifically situations where part of a page may change
while browsing, i.e., AJAX. The project web site is
<http://hcw.cs.manchester.ac.uk/research/saswat/>.

What we need at the moment is an understanding of how current technology
(screenreader/browser combinations) copes with these changes. We have
developed a set of test pages, and what we would like people to do is
explore them, using whatever you normally use to browse the web, then
tell us what happens. There is a more detailed introduction and
instructions at:

<http://tinyurl.com/3rw57e>

This page also links to the test pages. Viewing the pages shouldn't
take long, and any feedback will be very useful to us (we have a
reasonable idea of how JAWS deals with these pages, but not yet
Window-Eyes).

I'd like to emphasise that any feedback at all will be welcomed. Please
either reply on the mailing list or contact me directly:
<andrew.brown@cs.manchester.ac.uk>.

Many thanks,

Andy.
