the new W3C validator interface http://validator.w3.org/ is intended to hide the "advanced" options from the user, unless the "More Options" link is activated, but when i access the page using MSIE7 and the latest build of JAWS 8x, the entire content of the form, including the visually obscured portion is articulated; moreover, when i tab navigate the form, the tab navigation moves from invisible checkbox to invisible form control, until reaching the submit button... the same user experience is replicated when i use FireVox to access the new validator interface -- i can tab through invisible form controls before focus is given to the "Check" submission button i haven't tried it with NVDA yet, as my box is unstable and i need to reboot, but i wanted to bring this issue, and the bug report which i filed about it, to the attention of everyone who tracks XTech REFERENCE: 1. Announcement of New Interface: * http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2007Jul/0138.html 2. validator bug report: * http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4959 perhaps someone from the WCAG group could respond to all to whom this post is addressed with a problem statement/solution gregory.
