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,
