Jaws don't. For me. I use Windows XP - perhaps you have another Windows version (I don't know what impacts the result)? My Jaws installment is fresh. I add a test page as attachment to this message, so you check if you get a different result. >> And Jaws+IE7 at least isn't any better. > and so it shouldn't be since IE7 does not implement ARIA support. I wanted to make the point that aria-hidden="true" is useful for progressive enhancement - aimed at AT users. And the fact that IE7 doesn't implement ARIA is just another argument in favor of that view, sine it means that one cannot use display:none to hide a label if one wants to make the page compatible for Jaws+IE7 users. -- leif halvard silli
