Subject: Error messages in an application
No previous message | Next message →
I am working on proper error messages for an application. The instructions say the error message is supposed to be displayed at the top of the page when the user enters something incorrectly. I did not write the original coding. It is in a Java Server Page. When there is an error JAWS does not say the error. I have to go to the top of the page to find out if something is wrong. How can the coding be done so JAWS or any other screen reader automatically speaks the text?

Suzy:
I use an anchor that is associated to the error heading and append the anchor name to my url for the page refresh after the error handling has been triggered.
