You can get the hyperlinks to be numbered. I find that helpful. 2.) You can get the cursor to track. That's critical, of course. But, I think that's about it. The chain does not do the table serialization thing like the cat does, therefore you get islands of text on screen that someone can see belong together, but that reads very poorly with a screen reader's basically left to right and top to bottom reading strategy. Also, not all javascript pages will work. I'm sorry, I don't recall all the details. Hope this helps, though.
