RE: JAWS and online forms question

Andrew,

The link you included is very similar to the page we are building:
http://www.ma.doe.gov/energy/web.html. We are reproducing an official
government form on the web, and must retain all the information available on
the original form, so we do not have the option to condense any of the text
- it is required to look as much like the paper form as possible. The site
is required to be 508 compliant, which has been defined by the client as
being JAWS complient.

We would like to make the site as 'usable' as possible, but finding 508
compliant examples which do more than a 'Contact Me' page has been
difficult. If anyone could point me to any good sites, especially in
regards to complex forms, it would be most appreciated. I have passed the
suggestions from this forum on to the programmer, and hope to get some
feedback from him today or tomorrow.

Thanks for your help,
Lisa
