Hi Julia, From a very quick test with Jaws 4.5: Yes, I get the same effect of reading across columns. If I'm understanding the source code correctly, some of the divs are very small, with, for example, the "text-only" & search form field having their own sets of div tags. So the screen readers are interpreting them as separate logical units. I think if you had the div tags surrounding each full column of information, then the screen readers would put the (now larger) blocks in the right order. Just my best-guess, Patrick At 07:46 AM 7/10/2003, Julia Collins wrote: [...] >http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/site01.cfm?request=a600 > >[...] >But please, please, please, if anyone has anything to report on how screen >readers interpret this - if they get the same problems the testers have been >experiencing - please get back to me. > >With deep gratitude > >Julia
