JAVA Questions The index for WHOOPIE:
On the bar at the bottom of the page where "loading status" is usually kept: after the page loads there is a message scrolling across this bar, left to right, that says "check out this other page, blah, blah, blah,"

Questions:

How could this be made readable by a screen reader? They can scroll up to down, will they ever be able to scroll left to right? Is there some way that this could be printed out as text on the page somewhere else? Could this be made static for a screen reader in some way? If the screen reader or browser could access the HTML, it is written right in there (the text of the message)...is there a way for them to get at it?

This makes it very hard to figure out where images go. For instance on the next page all that is displayed is a t-shape of images - not alt-text no text anchors. I would like to get some idea of what the image is before I load it. This is almost impossible with the scrolling message in the status bar. I get a brief glimps of it the first time my mouse sweeps over the image. However, it is quickly replaced with the image and I am unable to sweep over the image again to get the path to appear again.
