As a blind user, is this usable at all by screen reader users? How does it draw the GUI; does it use OS native controls or are they all homegrown? Thanx. -- Rich

Hi Rich, as you surmise, much of the app uses custom drawing and therefore escapes the attention of screen readers. That said, the integrated code-editor and documentation reader seem to sort-of work with Microsoft Navigator. With only that subset of the Fiddle experience, I'm uncertain that Fiddle will be better than whatever authoring environment you normally use.
