I tried the test page Jon referred to in his post. Currently it does not work with JAWS 10 in Firefox 3.0.10 but it does work with a daily Firefox 3.5 build. However, JAWS does not include any of the labelled by information in the landmarks dialog nor does it speak the labelledby information if I navigate from landmark to landmark. Is this something we expect the screen reader and/or browser to implement? thanks, -becky >Screen reader users do not necessarily want to know the visual position of a navigation bars, they want to know what the relationship >is between the links in a navigation bar. > >This can be done using the ARIA-LABEL and ARIA-LABELLEDBY links, see example: > >http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/nav/nav1.html > >Jon Becky Gibson Web Accessibility Architect IBM Emerging Internet Technologies 5 Technology Park Drive Westford, MA 01886 Voice: 978 399-6101; t/l 333-6101 Email: gibsonb@us.ibm.com blog: weba11y.com/blog twitter: http://twitter.com/becka11y
