Re: Query on technique H43

Sailesh,
You are correct - this doesn't seem to work with AT. I believed the 
product team when they said they had tested this with JAWS and it worked 
fine - but a quick test proves you are correct. I'll test myself next 
time rather than taking them at their word.
Regards,
James
