Hi, Beverly.
I'm using JAWS 10 with Windows XP Home and IE 8. I'm having the same issue.
I needed to turn off forms mode and review the page with the JAWS cursor.
The choices corresponding to each check box are as follows:
1. Print; 2. Large Print; 3. Braille; 4. E-mail; 5. CD ROM.
There are three groupings of check boxes with each of these choices because
they're wanting your first, second, and then last resort choice.
However, I cannot interact with these checkboxes while out of forms mode. I
can go back into forms mode and find this part of the form and check the
corresponding box as long as I know which choice I want.
It would be nice to give their web master a technical reason this isn't
working with JAWS. I noticed that JAWS refers to all forms as mouse over
links, regardless of the type of form, i.e. edit or check box.
I'm a GDF grad, so I'd be happy to pass the info along as soon as I can give
a specific reason for the inaccessible forms.

I HAD A THOUGHT! No. Wait. False alarm.

Hi guys, I'm trying to fill out the online application, but JAWS is not
reading the checkboxes. What should I do? I'm using JAWS 11, along with
Vista Home.
