Hello, I'm playing around with integrating Google Co-Op into my website. Right now, I'm toying with the idea of outputting search results into a page on my site via javascript (AJAX if that makes a difference), or from their domain but shown through an iframe. I know each poses its own unique challenges and benefits, but in general, I'm wondering which is more accessible and better to use, JavaScript/AJAX or iFrame

Just to put it into context: - The AJAX solution will not work without javascript enabled, whereas the iframe will;
- The iframe is more than a little inconvenient for JAWS and similar assistive devices (along with Google's own code being about as inconvenient);
So, as you said, each have their pros and cons, but I think the iframe will work on more browsers (old and new) than AJAX.

For the AJAX option, you should have a noscript alternative, which I would guess could send users directly to Google.
