Hi Glen and all,

I recently tested a page where there were three radio buttons; one was selected by default, and the other two were disabled. The screen reader announced the labels of these radio buttons followed by 'unavailable'. It wasn't of course clear as to when those radio buttons would become available or what the user needed to do in order for them to turn into an enabled state.

With regard to disabled radio buttons, what is considered good practice? Should information about when they become available or what the user needs to do be included within the label?

Many thanks.
Geetha
