Hi, Observation: Blind users can have problems navigating in a group of related radio buttons or a group of related checkboxes. Approach: On a web page designed for blind users, use a drop-down box instead of a group of radio buttons or a group of checkboxes. One advantage is that the blind user can more quickly move past the drop-down box than the group. Also, if the drop-down box is in single choices mode, it can be easier to identify the current choice without having to check out each radio button. If the drop-down box is in multiple choice mode in order to replace a group of checkboxes, be sure to indicate in the label for the drop-down box that multiple choices are allowed. Note: If the radio button or the checkbox are singlets, the drop-down box is not needed. Scott
