Hi Maciej, So to press a point, in your opinion JAWs + IE _and_ Firefox + WindowEyes supporting an attribute would count, where-as JAWS + IE and JAWS + Firefox would not. Further, even if neither Firefox nor IE, standing alone, did anything more than expose the attribute to the AAPI, as long as 2 independent screen readers delivered the proscribed functionality, it would be deemed successful. Have I summarized that correctly? JF
