Re: OL and the START attribute

Thanks Patrick.

That's what I am doing now.

I still like the concept of the AT API being able to work out that an OL with other OLs following that have incrementing START attributes should be announced stating the number of items in the entire list, even though it's broken. But I am perhaps too much of an optimist.

Cheers,

Alan

Maybe it's because the example is massively simplified, but...why not
just do

<h2>List of pets I like</h2>
<ol>
   <li>
     <p>I like cats</p>
    <p>Hey, look at these cats ...</p>
   </li>
   <li>I also like dogs</li>
</ol>

(with a bit of CSS to match the current look you're getting)
