Thanks a lot for your feeedback -- that's really a pity, since I can image that JAWS 10 with IE 8
might be quite common a combination among screenreader users.
I would love to use such a slider, but there seem to be quite a few drawbacks.

Unfortunately, the text on each slide is the same Lorem Ipsum filler text, so any blind tester
couldn't really tell for sure whether anything actually changed to boot.
