Re: Alternatives to LEGEND for a radio button?

Historically forms mode has been something controlled by the user, at least until JAWS 10. In JAWS 10 forms mode is activated automatically when a user enters a text field, it is not needed for radio buttons or check boxes. This "auto forms mode" feature can be turned off by the user. In testing we have found that auto forms mode has some issues, particularly when there is a bit of client side scripting running. The latest patches for JAWS 10 work better but it still is a little buggy.
