Re: [WSG] Fieldsets & Legends
Hi Clare, Roger Hudson recently wrote a detailed article on legends and fieldset - including a series of movies showing both JAWS 9 and Window-Eyes 6.1 in action. The article is here: http://www.usability.com.au/resources/wcag2/ The relevant movie is here: http://dotsub.com/view/0064d19b-a8da-4729-86f7-a45aaa5bdd57 If you watch the movie you will hear JAWS 9 clearly reading out the relevant legends (at 2:25 of the movie). When Andrew goes into forms mode, the screen reader says: "Participants name colon edit" Participants is the legend, name is the label. You can also here the legend being read our in association with each checkbox item. For example: "Areas of interest pottery checkbox not checked" Areas of interest is the legend, pottery is the label, and the item is a checkbox.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 October 2008 10:03 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Fieldsets & Legends Hi, I'm trying to educate developers to add fieldsets and legends to their code when building applications. Jaws 5.0 handles fieldsets and legends in the form field dialog box but jaws 9.0 doesn't. I've spoken to freedom scientific and they say this "Therefore, there is really no setting in JAWS 9.0 that can be changed to cause the List of Form Fields dialog to behave in the same manner as it in JAWS 5.0." Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter or know of any software that does support fieldsets and legends! Thanks Clare -- Can you explain what problem you are trying to solve? You can't change what user agents people have, so what is your objective?

[WSG] Fieldsets & Legends
Hi, I'm trying to educate developers to add fieldsets and legends to their code when building applications. Jaws 5.0 handles fieldsets and legends in the form field dialog box but jaws 9.0 doesn't. I've spoken to freedom scientific and they say this "Therefore, there is really no setting in JAWS 9.0 that can be changed to cause the List of Form Fields dialog to behave in the same manner as it in JAWS 5.0." Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter or know of any software that does support fieldsets and legends!
