hello:
i have been doing some web testing and have come across a very
strange behavior. if i run the page thru NVDA and voice over the page
shows an h1 in the right place and where it should be. however jaws
shows the same heading as an h2. we have checked the source code and
it is definitely a h1.

as well, on the same page jaws has turned all the lists on the page to
navigation landmarks. has any one seen this before?

the designer is using the modernizr javascript library and i suspect
this may have something to do with it but i can't tell for sure.
before you ask i can't share the link or code sorry
