Re: Form and label element association

While on this subject:
For making a form accessible to JAWS 5.0 users, an HTML tag that Freedom Scientific supports is  ContextHelp. Here is an example... it is not  a standard though.
<label for="pcp" >Name of PCP:</label>
<input type="text" id="pcp" tabindex="10" ContextHelp="Enter name of primary care physician" />
When JAWS encounters this it says "Press Insert+F1 for help" and one can hear the help text and then press Exc to excape... all this in forms data entry mode. Must say it works well for me.
