I have a simple form where I have off-screen labels
Example here : http://jsfiddle.net/HMDpw/

It didn't work with NVDA on FireFox (FF14) . The form fields are read as
"Edit Auto complete Blank"
Not sure if this is problem with the code /browser/ NVDA..
Anyhelp would be great
Can you provide the actual code/css examples you're using to:
1. put your labels off screen?
2. associate your labels with the input fields?
