Well, that sucks. I've heard talk about a JavaScript Flash to html 5 convertor but I haven't seen any actual bits. I know Firefox supports html 5 accessibly on Windows and GNU/Linux but think it probably does us no good on Macintosh. What about Safari, how well does it deal with html 5 and VO? Does anyone know where there is some html 5 content we can test with Safari and VO?
Surely, such a process based in JavaScript would probably be slow but it sure beats no access at all and, for those of us who enjoy sites like, www.streaming-madness.net, the extra wait would be well worth not needing to swap out OS. cdh On Jan 26, 2010, at 12:58 PM, Chris Blouch wrote: > I don't know how much access the Flash object gives to external scripts so > you might hit similar roadblocks in Applescript.
