Hi all, a quick one, is HTML5 any better than standard flash video players in
terms of accessibility?
Only I've emailed a website complaining about their video player not being that
accessible and they wrote back saying that they are switching to HTML5 in the
future, and that should be more accessible to screen reader programs. Damn,
they pot me in the spot! Should I reply saying, well done... I'm looking
forward..., or, HTML5 isn't any better than flash... you need to...? The site
in question is
http://www.livestation.com/
Incidentally, VoiceOver on my iPad can see the play button alright on this
site, while JFW11 on IE8 can't deal with any of the video buttons.
Any hints will be welcomed!
Cheers,
Amro
