Subject: JAWS vs @import and <link> stylesheets (Was: Rethinking "Skip to Content")
No previous message | Next message →

OK, well maybe I am wrong here although I never (and I think I can use this
absolute in this case) use @imported styles: all of my tests were done using
ed stylesheets and that may account for the differences you and I have
seen. I was under the impression that display:none was "invisible" to JAWS
but maybe only with ed styles. I have not reinstalled JAWS since my
system was re-imaged but I was testing the most recent version of a couple
of months ago.

More testing I suspect.

To follow up on this, I stumbled across this (see the chart at the bottom)

It does indeed look like it's due to the @import.

I would love to hear the conclusion of these tests.

Is there a difference in how JAWS reads style sheets depending on whether it is linked or imported?

Thanks.
