Pullquotes & Accessibility . . . - 8/18/2008 1:17:05
. . . I haven't been able to find a convincing way of hiding (or otherwise dealing with) pullquotes so that screen readers won't read them out, thus reading the same piece of text twice or at least out of context. Does anyone here have a solution?

Thanks Tail, I was deliberately not using javascript because those who don't have it enabled wouldn't be able to see the pullquotes, but as that article says, it doesn't matter if they can't see it because as it's a pullquote, they'll see it in a few sentences anyway. I'm still not sure I want to involve javascript for something like this, so I'll sleep on it for now. Thanks again Nicole

Thanks Caz & Tail, A few days later and I've not touched that site! hmmmm, maybe I will later. I agree that it's a good use for javascript Tail, and Caz, if I can pic succinct enough quotes, they could even almost double as headings when read by a screen reader (although of course the screen reader won't actually "say' that they're headings). Also a good way to beef your site up with keyphrases, but don't tell they SEO people that.
