Web browsers and setups runs the gamut. Even setting aside screen
readers or other issues of accessibility a given machine may react
differently based on the operating system, just like with any other
application as well as unique PC / Mac issues. Even on a single
machine simply changing which web browser you launch can drastically
effect what works and how. I've dealt with all of that a lot, but now
I'm starting to learn what adding in a screen reader does to that
already complicated mix. It can all be quite challenging as the
results are far from predictable in many cases...
