Hi peter,

Thanks, I'll bear this in mind, though I thought once you had indicated you 
were over the age limit it remembered the fact, perhaps it doesn't.
sometimes if the play/pause button doesn't appear I get a resize button, 
pressing this seems to make the play/pause button appear, but this all seems 
somewhat erratic.

  I usually find if the play button isn’t available it’s because the tick box 
to confirm your over sixteen has appeared. Try using CTROL + Escape to refresh 
the JAWS buffer then move up and down the screen and see if there is a tick box 
anywhere.

  Hi,

  Before the BBC changed its Iplayer website the play/pause button appeared 
most of the time.  If itwasn't there I could just right click in the flash 
movie start/end area and get a menu up to make it appear.
  Since they have redesigned the site I am finding it hard to find a consistent 
way to get the play/pause button to appear.

  Are there some accessibility controls I am missing?  there doesn't appear to 
be anything obvious in the player help about accessibility.

  I'm using xP/IE 8 and Jaws 11.
  Any suggestions welcome.

  Gary
