thanks for pointing that out. but that is not really an ideal way to find
what your reading after all if i as a advanced screen reader user did not
know that how many people do. also the information is quite verbose and it
does not read the header when i need it, for example when i tab to it or
in the links list i am not going to get a page title every time i want to
know what the context is. getting a page title is not at all intuative and
doing this for every link even the thought of it makes my hands hurt.
in that case why couldn't the link have been labeled reports by date that
would have been much simpler to code to. lucy
