It has some useful info for us designers as it explains the order Jaws processes things. For Example.. quote: # Press the SPACEBAR to cycle through the available options. Choose one of the following: * Title - JAWS first looks for and reads information provided by the TITLE attribute. If no title text is found, JAWS reads the on screen text. * Screen Text - JAWS reads the on screen text. * On Mouse Over - JAWS looks for "OnMouseOver quoted text" and speaks it. * Longest - JAWS speaks the longest string of information for each link. * Custom Search - JAWS searches for information in the order specified in Configuration Manager, HTML Options and reads the first information found. < Message edited by jaybee -- 11/17/2006 13:50:12 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

I've been using Opera Voice to check pages out but that is part CSS2 and part CSS3 and CSS3 keeps changing. A number of CSS2 aural styles are deprecated in CSS3 so you can't use those. Confused R us. What I found interesting about that link though was the list of keys and what is used for what. Another good reason to avoid accesskeys. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to womble)

A good read/listen to though rather long, but hey, if you've got an MP3 player, download the audio version and listen to it on your way to work! _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to jaybee)

You know that whooshing sound you get when things shoot straight over your head. It's amazing though when you use aural how you can get that monotonous electronic voice to change. I could play for hours. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to womble)
