What’s the difference between putting something 1000px off to the left, and 9000px off to the left, then? In my last project, I actually put things off top and left… -1000 top, and -1000 left, and made it fixed.

Wouldn’t you expect these to all behave the same, no matter the pixel count? Or should I test my pages with all screen readers again?

If you use 1000px, there’s the possibility that the hidden material will invade the viewport for people blessed with very high resolution screens.

For example, we started using off-left as 999px (save a byte!). That worked fine until the rich guy doen the hall walked in with a 1600×1200 laptop with a browser opened to full screen and asked about the wierd stuff overlaying the left part of the screen. That’s when we changed one line of CSS to 9000px.

It’ll be a while before we get to screens wide enough for 9000xp to be the same problem.

Why did you choos 9000? is there a better number, like when 999 saves a byte? why not choose 9999?

9000 is plenty large enough to keep the material from invading the viewport. 999 was not, and only saved one byte from 1000 which was also too small.

Window Eyes 5.5 betaB with Firebox 1.5 beta1 does speak the hidden words. The hidden words are not displayed (they were not displayed with IE 6, either).

JAWS 6.2 with IE 6 does speak the hidden words but they are not displayed. This surprised me since Bob found that JAWS 6.1 did not speak them???

oops, JAWS 6.1 does speak the hidden words - my mistake!
