Quicktips and JAWS

incorporate the tips in a presentation I'm giving tomorrow. Something
odd is going on. Here is a transcript of how JAWS 5.1 reads the page at

Introduction

 

The following "

Quick Tips"

introduce key concepts of accessible Web design. Please note that these
are not complete guidelines, but only a memory prompt for concepts from
the W3C

Recommendation

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0

which include information critical to understanding and implementing the
Quick Tips. There is an easy-to-use

Checklist,

a detailed document describing

Techniques

for implementing the Guidelines, and a

Curriculum

which explains how to use the guidelines.

 

The Quick Tips were developed by the W3C/WAI

Education and Outreach Working Group,

and last updated in January, 2001. Information on other activities and
resources of W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative is available on the

WAI home page.

 

Here is the current reference text of the Quick Tips in English:

Is JAWS misbehaving? Or is the page misbehaving?
Thanks!
