Apologies. I'm on catchup. Is Safari now supported by jaws 11? A quick google
and look at jaws 11 help documents didn't reveal anything on this.

Hi
I get the rss feeds from the news and technology pages and today there were a
whole bunch of oldish stories as well as some new ones.
Guess it may take a while for it to settle down.
BTW safari 5 has a handy new reader button that cuts out all the spurious links
and ads making the reading experience much nicer.

Hi there.
The new BBC website went live this morning. From a screenreader perspective the
layout will look pretty much the same with a bit more detail.
The word 'New' appears after stories that have just been put on the site.
There are a good few many more headings on the page meaning that you can get a
good sense of most of the page by toggling with your H key.
There are a few places where you see some unusual things like Africa is a
heading level 3, and on the line below that you have Africa as a heading level
4. I suspect there is some kind of image or bar or something in between the two
for those blessed with sight but looks a little weird in a screenreader. I'll
be feeding this back.
I fancy the page might be a little more sluggish but then my entire computer is
acting sluggish today so I can't tell. I fear there may be a little more Flash
or java on the page now, weighing jaws down.
