Under the hood they are using this markup:
<h2><a href="http://www.gpsreview.net/garmin-oregon-400t/";>Garmin Oregon
400t</a></h2>
If that comes through ok you'll notice that it is an H2 heading tag pair
wrapped around an A anchor tag pair. So yes, it is a heading which has a
link inside it. That's a long way of saying VO is reading what the
site's HTML is doing.

Thanks, I'll try interacting with the heading and see what that does,
that's the first time I've seen that, also in windows, it just appears
as links, you would never know a link was hiding in there, if that's
the case, than voiceover is actually providing more detail than the
windows screen readers do.

it's not a bug, i personally think it's pore html here. My blog does
it it's self and what it is is someone includes the link with in the
h1 and hr h2 or h3 etc tags. I do not know how it looks to a sighted
person but for example the sponcer links are sometimes headings on
google. When you think it could be a link, try to interact with the
heading. If there is a link it will say so. If there isn't it might
just say "interacting with text, so and so charectors".

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone else notices this. Go to
gpsreview.net and move the voice over cursor through the page to get
past the adds at the top. You will encounter a bunch of articles and
voice over indicates that each one begins with a heading. Now, if
you tab through the page, you will see that these are actually links
not headings. So, when you tab, they are indicated as links as they
should be, but reading with the voice over cursor announces them as
headings. I can't help but wonder if this happens with other pages,
wonder if this is a bug?
