Hi, John I'm not sure if this is on the list, but I think we should talk about what additional information is needed to be presented on rendering of web pages to help people navigate forms. Recently I was asked to evaluate why a blind user was having problems using a web page. Well, it turns out there were two forms on the page next to each other. To make matters more confusing, each form consisted of a combo box with no submit buttons. The user couldn't figure out that there were actually two forms and no submit buttons. My suggestion is that a browser has the option of rendering additional information for each form. I believe it would be extremely helpful if the beginning and end of each form is marked. The beginning part should include a brief analysis of the form like number of radio button groups, number of submit buttons, etc. Also, it would be extremely useful if the tab key stopped on the beginning and end of each form so that the blind user can get a sense of the extent of each form. Could you please add this to the list of open suggestions? Thanks, Scott
