No Jaws does not. Object inspector is just a tool to inspect objects, if you Google it you will find several. There is one called create your own Object Inspector that might work with Jaws, just haven't tried it yet.

Object inspector? What's that? Does JAWS have an object inspector?

Try using Object Inspector and see if the buttons are exposed.

Subject: [WebAIM] insight about weird flash

Hi. Well, I figure I'm here, I might as well jump right into picking brains.

I was asked to check a site over for accessibility issues. Oh me oh my, they have some work to do. The headings, ug, the graphics, ug, the strange labeling of links, ug ug ug, but my biggest issue is how come JAWS skips right over the play buttons for the movies? The page is
http://www.edmedia.tv/Default.php?pID=16

I can't find a single play button on the page, although they appear to be bleedin' obvious to anyone with eyeballs. Apparently System Access-users can also find them. I thought it was due to them coded in shockwave flash, but then I saw the following page:
http://www.paulspond.com/index.php?entry=21
and I can see those fine.

Thank you in advance for any help at all.
