cross-posted from IG to the WCAG list One improvement you could make that should make Jaws work a lot better is to label the form control labels - for example <br><input type="checkbox" name="noise" id="box1"><label for="#box1">some choice or other</label> This is also in line with the Web Content Guidelines checkpoint 10.2 that talks about associating form labels with controls (Although there is nothing in WCAG currently saying that controls should be explicitly labelled. Is this an omission?) Cheers Charles McCN On Thu, 23 Mar 2000, Terry Hammon wrote: Here is a form that I wrote wrote by hand, no formatting. Our first tester had trouble checking the boxes until he went from the bottom up. I am not done with this one yet. We have just began the testing phase. http://www.santarosa.edu/access/terry/survey.html When he accessed the following form, only the radio button id's were read to him. The text was not identified. Most of the tome the SS# field was called phone#. This form needs a lot of repair. https://testsys.santarosa.edu/scripts/SRJC.exe/execute?application=autobahn_kiosk&program=REPORT-SR-FIND-SSN -- Thanks: Terry Hammon http://home.pacbell.net/thammon http://members.xoom.com/thammon -- 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
