Hi folks,



I want to know whether there is any mechanism to prevent JAWS from
reading a area on the webpage which contains all kind of HTML elements
like links, headings, input fields, radio buttons and chec boxes.

Either any mechanism to avoid reading some of them Looking forward for
an early reply.



Thanks&regards

In theory you could designate an aural style sheet, with the "speak"
property for those elements set to "none". I don't know how well these
are supported or implemented in the various screen readers.
