A few weeks back I emailed Bob Easton of Access Matters to suggest that he post a quiz about javascript support in screenreaders. Bob got back to me quick-as-a-flash to say that James Brothercake had asked exactly the same thing just a couple of days before. Many many emails on, and after a lot of hard work from James and Bob, there is a test up to help answer that question: How Do Javascript Operations Affect Accessibility Part 1. Props to James for an ingenious method of automating the tests, and many thanks to Derek Featherstone for his input as well.
