Norman,

That is a great question. One of my concerns is this seems to be catching
on, and I have not seem much about it, and how to make it accessible.
Excellent things can be done with this, and as it is not really new
technology, but mostly a combination of existing technologies, I would think
there would be some things that would help to make some of the things it
does accessible. Hopefully WebAIM is looking at this and will come up with
something like the terrific paper they produced on JavaScript!

Disabling the scripting is not just an accessiblity issue, but these days it
is also a security issue to prevent things like Phishing...

Sincerely,

Mike Burks
