It would be nice if you could use the ‘Title’ attribute to explain what the link does as that should be available if you hover over the link but this doesn’t seem to be handled by Flash, nor does the ‘Alt’ attribute. Maybe there is some other way? Or maybe you can include them and the Text reader will speak them even though they don’t show.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><font face="courier new" size="-1"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>'----------------.-------.-----.-----'<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|<b>VARIETY</b> | <b>kCALS</b> |<b>FIBRE</b>|<b>SUGAR</b>|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|----------------+-------+-----+-----|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|Braeburn | 43.2 | 1.6 |10.2 |<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|----------------+-------+-----+-----|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|<a name=”Cox” href="http://www.tcrochford.co.uk/elearning/apple-cox.txt" longdesc="http://www.tcrochford.co.uk/elearning/apple-cox.txt" target="_blank">Cox</a> | 44.4 | 2.0 |10.4 |<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|----------------+-------+-----+-----|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|Egremont Russet | 45.0 | 1.6 |10.6 |<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|----------------+-------+-----+-----|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|Gala | 43.9 | 1.3 |10.3 |<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|----------------+-------+-----+-----|<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>|Pink Lady | 44.5 | 1.6 |10.5 |<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>'----------------'-------'-----'-----'<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'></font> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>In principle you should be able to tab between hyperlinks which would address Judy’s question, but that also doesn’t seem to be possible within the Flash interface: tabbing just brings up all the text, it seems.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Kindest Regards,<br>Thomas<br>_____________________________________________<br>Eml: <a href="mailto:thomas.rochford@cambridge-serendipity.com">thomas.rochford@cambridge-serendipity.com</a><br>Web: <a href="http://www.cambridge-serendipity.com/">http://www.cambridge-serendipity.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>Skype: cambridge.serendipity<br>Mob: 07500 669 002<br>Fax: 01223 563142 <br></span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:silver'><img border=0 width=28 height=22 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CC9F35.478A22A0" alt="Description: cid:image002.jpg@01C8A62B.F6CF3B80"></span><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#99CC00'> </span></b><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#99CC00'>Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#969696'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Alistair McNaught<br><b>Sent:</b> 09 November 2011 18:24<br><b>To:</b> Xerte discussion list<br><b>Subject:</b> [Xerte] Re: how do I create Tables in XERTE pages<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I know the one.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Yes that would be an excellent way of interpreting an image of the table, so long as the labels and feedback were thoughtfully designed. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Eg – label = Moscow</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Feedback - this row shows average temperatures for Moscow through the year.
