I offer this answer primarily because you haven't offered any code to test ('some stuff to some of the pages' is not code to test) and your example doesn't provide enough context. You can test this without needing to know how screen readers parse the DOM. So this morning I added this: Please enable JavaScript to receive this content.īut if the problem isn't that JavaScript needs to be enabled ( a recent survey shows that 99% of screen-reader users have JavaScript enabled) then the problem is not solved and is made even worse because now the screen reader user would think that JavaScript is not enabled. Then, we started getting a few emails of confused listeners wondering what happened to the Now Playing link. So as you can see, if the screen reader doesn't read what the javascript/jquery prints to the #now-playing-div then it will read nothing.
