I=E2=80=99m not sure how accessibility is hindered, given that the contents= of the page are still perfectly accessible. All the fixed TOC does is obscure a very small portion of them on occasion, which can be rectified by scrolling. I would call that inconvenient, not inaccessible. Unless there=E2=80=99s more happening here beyond what I=E2= =80=99ve seen, that is. Aankhen
