Hi Jim,

My goal is always to not code specifically for any device or AT. We are developing new touch friendly products that are likely to be widely used on iPad and iPhone, so VoiceOver is an important factor.

Typically, I preach that developers should code using proper semantics, following HTML and WCAG specs, and *most* accessibility needs will fall into place. This does not happen to be the case with VoiceOver which has lead our discussion to VO detection, etc.

Bryan, I'll get a colleague to put together a scrollable div using the attributes you mentioned below and will let you know how it goes.

Hi:

If I may, are you coding specifically for a device or AT in general?
