Now I have deinstalled Jaws 10, and reinstalled Jaws 11, and the bug in the interpretation of the test page [*] continues to be there. However, I also found something that appears as a workaround: Aria-labelledby can contain more than one idref. And if at least one of the idrefs points to an element that has not been hidden, then all the elements will be used, even if some of them are hidden. The visible element can simply be an empty element. [*] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Sep/att-0320/labelledby-hidden-test.html -- leif halvard silli
