Re: Is this slider accessible to screenreader users?

Ok, now that I know what I'm looking at, I like it. I think the word
slider really through me off. I'm thinking this is a visual technique,
like you described?

The thing I like about it though, is that if I click on a link, my
screen reader says "heading level 2 books" or something, so I know the
link has initialized. Often times the fancy stuff doesn't indicate
that anything has happened. So in this case, I like that my reader is
telling me what's going on. I think from a Voiceover perspective, it's
a winner. And now I know what a slider is. Oh, I like that it keeps
all the content on one page, too. That is really really nice.
