Animated gifs
Hi, all.
Anyone still using animated gifs on their site? I just got a request to post an animated gif that will display attendee comments from a recent workshop. There are about 5 comments that rotate.
My first thought was that this doesn't seem accessible.
Are there ways to make these accessible?
Appreciate any suggestions.

Laurie,
A more accessible solution (and possibly speedier, depending on your familiarity with it) would be to make use of the the jQuery Carousel plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/plugin-tags/carousel). This way your text can live as HTML and degrade nicely for those with javascript turned off or making use of screen readers.
I've used it to solve similarly problematic requests.
Let me know if you have any questions
