Hello Mate, oh, yes, it may not work in some instances. have to investigate on the alt text, which is bit more out of scope for an non coding user. website that does not label graphics/photos with alt text. They used empty quote marks like this: alt= "" The graphics were positioned using CSS, then it might not work. since null alt, it should be used on decorative images, or things such as spacers
Folks, i'm not a jaws guru but let try. have to work on custom label, for some instances where it does. short description, here it goes: The Custom Labels feature is an extremely flexible and versatile way to customize Web pages to suit your individual needs. JAWS allows you to assign custom text labels to almost any HTML element that you can move to by pressing the TAB key. These elements include text links, graphic links, form fields, and buttons. You can also label images on Web pages. JAWS reads these custom labels instead of the identifying text assigned to the elements by the Web page author. JAWS also uses custom labels to identify elements when they appear in lists, such as the list of form fields that displays when you press INSERT+F5. You can use this feature to customize the elements of any Web page to help you navigate the page, reduce verbosity, compensate for incomplete or poorly labeled elements, and similar functions. Redefine the labels for entire Web forms or applications so the names are more useful and meaningful to you. Customize Web pages so that links and graphics provide more information and help you find what you need right away. The Custom Labels feature provides unmatched flexibility in the way you read Web pages. Guys, this is just a introduction about custom label where you can use for labelling html elements. hope this might have given you some idea about. i may try to post step by step instruction in future. Again, i ask real guru's of html and jaws users to shed light on this,please. On 6/30/12, Mujtaba Merchant <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Radha, > > > > This is really informative.
