Wondering if this is a web page or an eLearning module displayed in the browser. I ask because I have found this same issue with eLearning modules created in Captivate and published as HTML5

Nick;
Are you able to remove the event from the upper level div?

Subject: [WebAIM] screen reader announcing clickable
Hi all
I'm doing some testing on a web page where a section has paragraphs of text that all announce clickable when you arrow through it using jaws.
There is a div a few levels up in the dom that has a click event attached to it according to firebug in firefox.
I assume this is why the text is saying clickable. Is there any method to stop a screen reader announcing clickable other than verbosity settings in the screen reader? clicking on the text doesn't actually do anything.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
