I'm not sure many people are using JAWS in firefox? I was under the
impression that most users were on IE because of the accessible
interface? When I have tried to listen to the interface of firefox, it
brings up a lot of graphics instead of text. But I'm not very good at
it, so I'm probably in verbal mode or something.

Subject: [WSG] JAWS and image maps in mozilla

Although I personally don't care much for imagemaps I was forced to use
one for this particular project I work on. To make it as accessible as
possible, I made it a client-side map. I was a good boy and provided alt
and title attributes for all of the areas.

BUT: Jaws seems to have difficulties reading the map in Firefox and
Netscape. Well, let's say it doesn't read the alt-tags. It does read
them in IE though.

I was just wondering if anybody else had problems with that before? Any
workarounds you found?

Here is the map I'm working on: http://203.17.179.45/map.html

Thanks for your feedback!
