Re: JavaScript action example

While this is a good example for action, it may also be a good example of 
why not to set focus to an item in the middle of the page!  With JAWS I 
immediately hear the user name edit field spoken but don't get the other 
information about being registered or not.  Also, using just the keyboard 
I could never get focus to the radio button in order to change it.  I 
could, however, navigate to the radio and change it using JAWS.  I'm not 
sure why?  There is a span around the form containing the radio and that 
form element has no action - I don't know if that is the issue or not. 
Always curious!
