Re: please test these expanding content areas for me

Using Voiceover with Snow Leopard and Safari, I hear a heading titled, "Mandatory Waivers"

Then I heard that it's a visited link, but the only page I visited is the first link you provided. The visited link sounds like, "f_tuitionwaivers.aspx".

Then under a heading level four it says, "optional waivers" and then the same visited link.

Each heading has that same visited link. I don't use tab with VO, just arrow keys.

Headings after this read, "
Waiver of Nonresident Tuition Differential" and so on.

Referencing your email, I definitely don't hear anything you said would be in the first expanding area.

I tried group order when navigating in Safari just to see if anything showed up, but nothing did, and nothing in form controls either.

Hope that helps; I'm just a regular Jane Shmo Mac user. :)

You know, I just looked at my link choser out of curiosity and there are forty-five items. That visited link I mentioned? It comes up in the link chooser with a number next to it, 1-8. I tried clicking on that visited link, which I should have done before replying, and it seems to expan the material. I now here what you included in the first email.

There's nothing to indicate a menu expanded, so if you didn't know it was there, you'd think nothing happened.

Sorry this is so scattered; I'm tired and should not be trying to test anything. Though maybe that just makes me more of an average user. ;)

I doubt if they are accessible by screen readers as I can't seem to tab to them.
