Hi Terry: A form somewhat similar in form to the two you have which I find accessible using Lynx 2.8.1 or Internet Explorer 4.01 with JFW 3.2 is National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped Web-Blnd, at http://www.loc.gov/nls/web-blnd/bph.html There might be some generally applicable techniques you can use as a model. Although, one caveat is that the number of items on a single page and how long the labels are seems to affect how well my screen reader reads the checkboxes and radio buttons. Testing, of course, will again be needed. -Steve Someti 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 12:32PM >>> Here is a form that I wrote wrote by hand, no formatting. Our first tester had trouble checking the boxes until he went from the bottom up. I am not done with this one yet. We have just began the testing phase. http://www.santarosa.edu/access/terry/survey.html When he accessed the following form, only the radio button id's were read to him. The text was not identified. Most of the tome the SS# field was called phone#. This form needs a lot of repair. https://testsys.santarosa.edu/scripts/SRJC.exe/execute?application=autobahn_kiosk&program=REPORT-SR-FIND-SSN -- Thanks: Terry Hammon http://home.pacbell.net/thammon http://members.xoom.com/thammon
