Hi all,

I have a page which is like a search results page. Basically you enter
your postcode and you are returned a list of stores within that
postcode. We use a third party provider to do most of the work so are
limited as to what we can mess with.

At the moment it presents the address and has a 'Map' button which
then shows the location on a map. My problem is that I want to
associate the map button with an address. Can I use a label to do
this? What happens in jaws for example if you bring up a list of
links? Will it just say map 10 times? I unfortunately cannot change
the alt text as it is a generic button.

Thanks in advance.

Kieran.
