Why do you all have to be so insulting?
The original poster didn't know about this feature, and neither did I. Thanks for educating us both.
Ah, Zune.
The only MP3 player that is worth getting without buying in to the whole Apple thing. Creative are useless in their product development, and Zune seems a really cool product, partiuclarly when combined with Windows Media Centre and XBox 360.
But can we get it in the UK? Can we bollocks. We must be a real inferior market. Sod the Marketplace, I just want the MP3 player. Hello, anyone there at MS?
As it's Google, good job it is in Beta .... still.
In the Isle of Man, we have an additional problem. While most people ignore us and lump us in with the United Kingdom (we are literally placed between England and Northern Ireland geographically) - that's fine. Not politically or technically correct, but fine. We've more or less got used to it.
But then there are some sites that DO list us, and most IoM residents just go for United Kingdom anyway. Resulting in quite poor data. We're also very suspicious of sites that separate us out fromt he UK, because they often have the mistaken impression it is more expensive to ship things to us when in fact it is largely the same price.
This is an ongoing argument for any new web site developed on the island.
BonzoESC: As people have said, that JavaScript is pretty standard in Microsofts attempts to reduce the "distance" between the client and the server by creating weird postbacks - and thats without involving Atlas - which makes things much much worse!
But you raise an interesting point. I write for accessibility and find .NET to be quite poor in achieving a truly accessible but highly-specified site without relying on bits of JavaScript and poor markup that MS inject into your code. They claim that ASP.NET 2.0 provides higher accessibility, it does, but I'm afraid developers will think it comes for free.
So, in response to someone saying "take a bit longer to think about it", we should all do that - to achieve accessibility at the very least.
What was the text to speech program you use? I'd be interested in trialling it for my sites.
