Hi Nancy,

Using JAWS & IE, it reads fine on navigating through the form in Browse/Read
mode but in "Forms Mode" (used for interacting with forms in JAWS), label
for the button and the edit field is read out erratically. Try and access
the "Forms List" dialog box to get an exact picture of this. This is very
often the case but most users are used to such a behavior so they are
accustomed with the same.

Thanks & Regards,
