Vivek and all,

Using different tones to read the different prices, is no help for the
people who cannot hear, mainly the deaf-blind people who depends solely on
braille display to read the web pages.

Simple html markup is the best way to go to make it accessible. As for the
strike out, i think it would be best to use good proper language writing to
address the strike out issue.

<rant>Why does most developers focus accessible issues for the hearing
blind only and not all people with disabilities? We have a good number of
senior citizens who are having issues with their vision and hearing
losses.</rant>

<Jared>Thank for the humor thoughts. Grinning</Jared>
