<P>I am currently conducting an accessibility assessment on our intranet site. I have just encountered something a bit baffling. Supernova did not warn me that a new window was going to open. We have the links and image links coded to warn users, which it does in JAWS. Yet in supernova, on a mouse-over, it did not 'pop-up'. And since users do not always use both the magnifier and reader, it is a practical issue.</P>
<P>Is this a supernova issue? </P>
<P>I would like to be able to recommend on a course of action. Thank you in advance.</P>
<P>Cheers,</P>

Hi Annie,
How have you coded the images and links to warn viewers?
If you have you put this information in a title attribute then it may well
be that Supernova does not read this information,
I don't think Supernova has support for the title attribute (on link
elements).
with regards
