[gui-talk] Accessibility of Telerik Rad Menu Control

[David Andrews]

One of our staff had a question about the accessibility of an 
application.  You can either contact him directly, or contact me if 
you have any experience with this.

We recently received an inquiry from a large insurance company 
regarding the advisability of acquiring a product called Telerik Rad 
Menu Control to assist them in generating menus within a web 
application that they use.  The product permits users to navigate 
within web based drop downb and fly-out menus using the keyboard 
rather than having to use the mouse.  On the surface, it looked like 
an important step forward for a screen magnification or screen reader user.

Here is a link to the manufacturer's website:   http://www.telerik.com/

Has anyone heard of this package and have any info regarding how it 
behaves with Zoomtext and JAWS?   Any information is appreciated.  Thanks, Rich
