It sounds like you have received feedback? There are many screen readers available and many versions of those still in use. It is very important to keep universal design principles in mind. In this case, this means designing in a screen reader/browser independent way. I use Jaws For Windows (JFW) version 3.2 with either Lynx 2.8.1 or Internet Explorer 4.01. What kind of form is causing difficulties? Search forms? PDF forms? Other? -Steve Steve McCaffrey Senior Programmer/Analyst Information Technology Services New York State Department of Education (518)-473-3453 smccaffr@mail.nysed.gov Member, New York State Workgroup on Accessibility to Information Technology Web Design Subcommittee http://web.nysed.gov/cio/access/webdesignsubcommittee.html >>> Terry Hammon <thammon@pacbell.net> 03/23/00 12:37AM >>> We are in the process of developing a set of accessibility guidelines to be used by the Santa Rosa Junior College district in California. We are using the W3c and Bobby recommendations along with the Department of Justice guidelines. Still this isn't assuring that pages with forms are accessible by the blind. What are your recommendations for designing for JAWS. http://www.santarosa.edu/ -- Thanks: Terry Hammon http://home.pacbell.net/thammon http://members.xoom.com/thammon
