Hi all,
I have a question about this site: http://www.wmata.com/default.cfm
Running JAWS, the navigation bar at the top appears to me to be totally
inaccessible. (In other words, I can't get JAWS to even speak those links
at the top.) Is the issue here that it is using JavaScript, or Cold Fusion?
Thanks,
Lisa

It seems to be the JavaScript....I can't even tab to the top menu in IE. It
looks like the entire top navigation is created by a JavaScript function
using document.write or the like.

I don't think the ColdFusion has anything to do with it.
