Thanks Sean,
This is good info, I am not sure if it will change our standards here,
at least for internal, but I definitely think that we should encourage
the use of <select> over radio whenever practical to achieve the best
compromise. Its too bad that there is not a way get line wrapping into
the individual <option>s. Of course if we could do that, then we could
accomplish it with fieldsets too.
We have the same problems with the changes from version to version of
JAWS too. We are still on 6.1 because of the incompatibility between
JAWS 7.x and ZoomText, many members of our staff use both. We are
really nervous about what is going to happen when Vista comes along.
Our best information is that Freedom Scientific is struggling to be
ready, GW Micro is the closest of the screen reader builders, and that
the new interface is a major pain with any screen magnifier because of
the 3D.
Mike
