Hi Kelly, this seems like a bug in your screen reader, although the code as included here is not valid. The table should not appear inside a paragraph, and you need the closing tag for the form...

I've been experimenting with ways to ensure that a screen reader will read the correct text for things like edit boxes and such on forms. If I exclude the table references in the below example I hear all the text read as a prompt. If I include the table references I only hear the direct instruction to enter a name. What's the best way to code things so a screen reader will only read the direct instruction? Is my method acceptable? <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="bogus-script"> An edit box is where you type information. <p> <table> <tr> <td> Please enter your name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name"> </td> </tr> </table> <p> -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053 Postal: GPO Box 2476V, Melbourne 3001, Australia
